2010 Tax Credit
As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a Federal Tax Credit of up to 30% of the purchase price with a maximum credit of $1,500 is offered for qualifying improvements (windows, doors, insulation, furnace, etc.) to non-business properties. The credit is combined over 2009 and 2010 for eligible and qualifying products purchased and installed from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010.
Windows and doors meeting the following criteria are eligible:
- A U-Factor of less than or equal to 0.30 and
- A Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of less than or equal to 0.30.
U-Factor defines the amount of heat loss through the total unit in BTU/hr sq. ft. The lower the value, the less heat is lost through the entire product.
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) defines the fraction of solar radiation admitted through the glass both directly transmitted and absorbed and subsequently released inward. The lower the value, the less heat is transmitted through the product.
Visible Transmittance (VT) measures how much light comes through a product (glass and frame). The higher the value, from 0 to 1, the more daylight the product lets in over the product’s total unit area. Visible Transmittance is measured over the 380 to 760 nanometer portion of the solar spectrum.
