2010 Energy Tax Credit for Replacement Windows

- Windows must be placed in service from 1/1/2009 through 12/31/2010
- Must be for taxpayers Principal Residence
- One time credit is available for 30%, up to $1500.00 max
- Save your receipts and Manufacturers Certification Statement OR EnergyStar Label
- Minimum Standards: U Factor <=.30 SHGC <=.30. Not all EnergyStar labeled windows qualify.
- The credit is only allowed on the price of the qualified windows themselves, not on installation costs, onsite preparation, assembly or sales tax.
You will qualify for the tax credit by purchasing EcoMaxx Windows™!
Not all EnergyStar compliant products meet the new standard for this tax credit, so copies of the NFRC label will not always suffice. For your records, the following certification statement has been provided. To claim your credit, retain a copy of your product receipt along with this statement.
Be sure to consult your Minneapolis window replacement professional, to make sure you are ordering the right energy-efficient glass package with your EcoMaxx Windows™.
