Tax credit

We are going to try to take advantage of the tax credit for energy efficient windows that you can use in 2009 and 2010.

You can get a tax credit of 30%, up to $1500 for installation of approved energy efficient windows. That means we can get $5000 worth of windows for $3500.

A lot of the windows in our house are pretty drafty, especially the 4 big windows in our north facing bedroom. It gets very cold in winter and the windows rattle in the wind. We even use plastic sheets over the window frame all winter long.

We are going to try to do this in both years, and save $3000 on windows.
