When it’s time to make upgrades to one’s home, homeowners often look to make smart, energy-efficient choices that will benefit their wallet in the long run – especially for windows and doors! With the introduction of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit extends and improves upon previously available federal tax credits.
Annual Savings
Exterior doors qualify for a federal tax credit of 30% of the project cost or $250 per door, up to $500. Windows qualify for a federal tax credit of 30% of the project cost or up to $600.
Homeowners can gain additional tax credits for other energy-efficient home improvements as well. A summary table of product categories and adjusted tax savings for 2023 can be found here.
How to qualify
Qualifying windows and doors are designated as Energy Star Most Efficient 2023, which are the most energy-efficient products for this year. These include many options from our quality suppliers at Great Lakes Window and ProVia.
