If you buy products that meet the efficiency standards, the government will pay 30% of the cost, including installation supplies and labor...

Earth Day recently marked its 39th anniversary and global awareness about the importance of tackling energy demand and global warming is reaching all time highs. This month, do something positive for the environment: plant a tree, start a recycling program, or make your home or office more energy efficient. The health of our planet is a community and global responsibility that we should take pride in addressing!

Here’s the good news for homeowners!  Are you looking to save energy while improving the comfort, beauty, and value of your home?  The recently passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, popularly known as the “Stimulus Package,” offers a federal tax credit of up to $1,500 to homeowners who install new, energy-efficient windows and doors.

Replacing windows and doors with energy-efficient products qualifies for this tax credit.  American Building Supply can help homeowners choose the energy-efficient windows and doors that will qualify for the tax credit while giving them the style, durability and beauty they desire for their homes.

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 that made quite significant changes to the energy efficiency tax credits.  The changes apply to all products “placed in service” in 2009.  At American Building Supply, we offer several products that meet and exceed Energy Star regulations.  Below are some of the highlights, but find but all the details at www.energystar.gov/taxcredit

• Tax credits that were previously effective for 2009 have been extended to 2010.
• The tax credit has been raised from 10% to 30%.
• Tax credits that were for as specific dollar amount have been converted to 30% of the cost.
• The maximum tax credit has been raised from $500.00 to $1500.00 total for the two year period. 
• The $200 cap on windows has been removed, but the requirements for windows (after June 1, 2009) have been increased.  Not all Energy Star qualified windows will qualify after June 1, 2009.

If you’re a home builder, or building a new home, you cannot qualify for the tax credit for windows, doors, insulation, or roofs.  You will be eligible for different tax credits amounting up to $8,000.
