Home Owner Tax Credit

You can now install energy efficient windows you have been planning to install because the government will give you 30% energy tax credit when you do so starting January 1, 2009. It is part of Barack Obama’s economic stimulus package and homeowners are excited about this development.

Last February 19, 2009, Barack Obama upgraded the energy tax credit from 10% to 30% in order to attract more homeowners to become more green in their homes.

It’s the best time to take advantage of the government incentive because now you can get up to $1,500.00 tax credits for making your home more energy eficient. You’ll not only get energy tax credit, you’ll also start to save more because of lower electricity bills when you install energy-efficient home improvements.

Some of the most popular home improvements that fall under energy tax credit are solar control window film on doors and windows as well as energy-eficient cooling and lighting system in the house.

The government is giving all homeowners the incentive to go green. With the huge energy tax credits, it is expected that more Americans will start with home improvement not only for home design considerations but also for environmental consideration and energy conservation.
