Energy Savings
When you purchase new, energy efficient windows from Scott Exteriors, you can save money on your utility bills. Depending on the type of product you purchase, you could save up to 30-40 percent on your utilities. With the huge weather fluctuations in North Texas, this savings can really add up. If your windows are foggy, drafty or rattle when the wind blows, it is probably time to consider replacements.
You also might be eligible for a tax credit.
On December 17, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. Under this law, homeowners may claim a tax credit for the purchase of energy-efficient windows, doors, and skylights.
To be eligible for the credit, windows, doors, and skylight must:
- Meet ENERGY STAR program requirements
- Be installed in a taxpayer's primary residence
- Be installed by December 31, 2011
You can learn more about the tax credit details at Energy Star. Be sure and provide your tax professional with your invoice to receive this credit.
When making improvements to your home, look for the Energy Star rating. According to the Environmental Protection Agency website, a product earns the “ENERGY STAR label by meeting the energy efficiency requirements set forth in ENERGY STAR product specifications. EPA establishes these specifications based on the following set of key guiding principles.” The product categories must contribute significant energy savings nationwide and qualified products must deliver the features and performance demanded by consumers, in addition to increased energy efficiency.
