Federal Tax Credit
For your information on the tax credit here is the link:
http://www.energystar.gov/ Look lower left for tax credit info. I printed off the requirements that were updated on Feb 20th to have them handy. There is a lot of new stuff in there and I'm sure it would be worth your while to check it out and be familar with the jargon. Note window U factor <=.30, SHGC <=.30 ![]() Better check your P's and Q's on this. I doubt you can get a window this efficient off the shelf at Home Depot ![]() I know the window makers have to be making a BIG stink over these new requirements. Apparently it does not matter if you live in Alaska or Tenn. this is what you get to qualify. Ours do okay, do yours? Your Comments???? Dave

Re: Federal Tax Credit
Three for three window sales jobs this week when I consult the homeowner about the $1500 tax credit that is available. Have you guys been using this for your customers benefit?

Re: Federal Tax Credit
I see they also offer the credit for roofs. What steep slope roofing system is energy star approved?

Re: Federal Tax Credit
Be careful with the double panes as a GBG will raise your u factor
