How Do You Know If A Window or Door Meets the New Requirements?
To qualify for the tax credit, your new windows and doors must have a U-Factor of .30 or less. U-Factor gauges the overall energy-efficiency of a window. The lower the number, the better. Some windows have U-Factors of .31 or .32. Those don’t qualify. It has to be exactly .30 or lower.
Windows and doors must also have a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of .30 or less. SHGC measures how much heat a window lets in your house, and you want a low number. With low SHGC, your air conditioning can give you improved performance for less. Once again, a SHGC rating of .31 or .32 won’t cut it.
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) independently verifies both values. Any reputable window or door will have a NFRC sticker to indicate the U-Factor and SHGC.
How To Make Sure Your Replacement Windows And Doors Qualify For the Tax Credit
Lots of window companies sell low-end windows that don’t meet the new standards. Many mid- to high-end wood windows don’t qualify—windows from major brands you probably know. Those products have U-Factors of .31 or higher. And the SHGC is higher than .30 too. Don’t risk choosing a window that won’t qualify you for the tax credit.
Trust Clear Choice USA of South Bend. You’ll find a wide variety of windows, patio doors, and entry doors with U-Factors and SHGCs of .30 and less. Just ask to see the NFRC sticker to check for yourself. You can be sure you’ll get your $1,500.
