Any product installed after March 23, 2009 qualifies for the new tax credit of up to $1,500 introduced in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. See www.energystar.gov for details.
The Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies (www.jchs.harvard.edu/remodelingfutures) has appointed American Exteriors, LLC to its steering committee. The company is represented by President and CEO Larry Meadows and CFO/CEO Ed Rand.
According to the Winter 2009 Edition of ReNew Magazine (p41) “…the top investments that will enhance the resale value of one’s home are new siding and replacement windows. This is because new siding and new windows contribute greatly to a home’s curb appeal. In addition to improved aesthetics, new energy-efficient windows help lower heating and cooling bills because there’s less leakage.”
In order to qualify for the newly introduced tax credit, window ratings must have a U-Factor of 0.30 or less and a SHGC of 0.30 or less. Details on the credit can be found at http://www.energystar.gov
