Starting October 2023, many products, including new residential windows and doors, have to meet stricter ENERGY STAR version 7.0 criteria to receive certification and display the ENERGY STAR label.

As an incentive for homeowners to purchase these products, $1200 in annual tax credits are available as outlined below:

Three ways you can save money and maximize yearly tax credits while replacing your worn out windows and doors:
Worst goes first. Tackle your most drafty door and rotten windows first to maximize savings, comfort and home security.
Replace slowly. Take full advantage of the $1200 annual credit by replacing just one door and a couple/few windows each year.
Got hot spots? Focus on the rooms on the sunny side of your home. Today's low emissivity glass coatings, along with gas-filled, double or triple-paned windows, will keep your home cooler on those summer afternoons.
