2011 Energy Tax Credits for Qualifying Timeless Replacement Windows and Patio Doors

If you’re considering purchasing replacement windows, remember that there are federal tax credits available for 2011. Although new legislation has reduced the amount of the tax credit and changed the qualifying criteria, you are still eligible for tax credits for making your home more energy efficient.

Purchase ENERGY STAR® qualified Timeless windows. You’ll save twice—first with the tax credit, then by significantly lowering your home energy usage and costs.
