Energy Tax Credit Certification
Section 25C
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009, which changes several provisions in the Energy Improvement
and Extension Act of 2008 (HR 1424), entitles homeowners a tax
credit for qualified energy saving improvements they put in
place on their primary residence.
The tax credit equals 30% of the product price
up to $1500. The credit applies to the product purchase only
and does not include labor. The maximum credit of $1500 is for
any and all combined qualified products for the home including
windows, entry doors and garage doors. The qualified improvements
must be installed on an existing home between January 1, 2009
and December 31, 2010.
Changes in the new policy state that insulated
residential garage doors must have a U-Factor equal to or less
than 0.30. Additional requirements include:
The garage door is installed on the taxpayer’s primary
residence.
The garage door must be installed on an insulated garage.
There must be a perimeter seal (door stop) used as a means to
control air infiltration.
