The Details

To qualify, a door or window must have U-Factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) ratings of 0.30 or below.

Qualified Pella products must be installed in the taxpayer-owned principal residence before December 31, 2010. Homeowner may claim a tax credit up to 30% of the cost, not to exceed $1,500 over the two-year period. No new construction qualifies.

Retain your NFRC label from each product along with sales receipt for tax credit verification and preparation. The NFRC label shows that the energy efficiency of the window or door meets or exceeds tax credit eligibility requirements. When you prepare your taxes, use IRS Tax Form 5695 to claim the credit.

NOTE: The credit only applies on the price of the qualified windows and doors themselves and excludes installation costs, onsite preparation, assembly and/or sales tax. Since qualifying Pella wood clad products offer factory-prefinishing, the cost of this feature is eligible for the credit.
