The recent stimulus package enacted by the federal government includes provisions that increase tax credits for energy efficient improvements. There are many products that potentially qualify for these credits including Harvey windows and doors, Therma-Tru doors and Harvey Metal Roofing.

• The amount of the credit to you, the homeowner is 30% of their product cost, up to $1500, for all qualifying products installed in your principal residence in 2009 and 2010.
• The federal government requires that you keep an invoice that clearly identifies what qualifying products were purchased and the cost for each product not including labor.
• Must have a U-value less than or equal to .30 AND a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) less than or equal to .30.
• IRS form 5695 (available here later this year) will need to be submitted with the 2009 or 2010 tax return.
