Andersen® windows and patio doors help increase your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. Better yet, if you buy them now, you may qualify for a credit of 30% of the product cost up to $1,500 on your federal income tax*.

As part of the Economic Stimulus package, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 modifies and extends federal tax credits for eligible building components that improve energy efficiency.  To be eligible, windows, doors and skylights must have both a U-Factor equal to or less than 0.30 and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) equal to or less than 0.30.

How to qualify for the Federal Energy Tax Credit:***

1. Purchase a qualifying Andersen window or door with Low-E or High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass*. 
   The window or door must have both a U-Factor and SHGC of 0.30 or lower.
   
   Click here for a list of Andersen products that have NFRC certified U-Factors and SHGCs less than or equal to 0.30.   Do not rely on ENERGY STAR® qualifications to determine if a product meets the minimum U-Factor and SHGC requirements. The U-Factor and SHGC requirement of 0.30 or lower for the tax credit is more stringent than the current ENERGY STAR criteria.

    

2. Save your sales receipt and each window or door performance label (NFRC/ENERGY STAR® label) 
   with your tax documents.

    

3. Purchase and install qualifying products beginning January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010
   and meet all other requirements outlined in the federal tax code.

    

4. Claim the tax credit associated with your qualifying purchase on your Federal filing for the 2009
   and/or 2010 tax year.
