The tax credit benefit passed to people who fit energy efficient windows has always existed. However, recently the benefit was tripled to 30% of the cost of an energy efficient window. Whilst it also applies to doors my focus is mainly on windows for now.

Some of the you should know include the specific conditions that make a window be called energy efficient. This includes, the new energy start certification, the U-Factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), NFRC Rating and more. NFRC stands for National Fenestration Rating Council. One thing I should mentionhere is that if a window does not have the NFRC sticker then chances are it is unlikely to be energy efficient.
When working with replacement window companies or contractors, always request them to show you the sticker. If they cannot do so don’t buy their recommended window and do not use their services. There are plenty more companies that you can find and hire. So to cash in on the tax credit benefit in 2009 you need to be a clever shopper.
