Federal Tax Credit Information

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 the homeowner is 30% of their product cost, up to $1500, for all qualifying products installed in the homeowner's principal residence in 2009 and 2010.
• The federal government requires that the homeowner keep an invoice that clearly identifies what qualifying products were purchased and the cost for each product not including labor. This can be provided by the contractor performing the work. As a wholesaler, Harvey Building Products is unable to provide product pricing to consumers.
• Must have a U-value less than or equal to .30 AND a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) less than or equal to .30.
• This tax credit is in addition to other Energy Star rebates that may be available in your area. Click here for more information.
  
  Please note: The IRS shifted its policy on what windows can qualify for the new federal tax credits established by the ARRA. All Energy Star qualifying windows could be eligible for up to $1500 in federal tax credits if purchased before June 1st. After June 1st, only windows with U and SHGC values of .30 or below will qualify. As always, you should consult your tax professional for a definitive assessment of this program.
  
  In virtually all cases, windows must contain Low-E as part of the glazing package in order to be Energy Star qualified. We are excited to offer our Federal Incentive Package, which qualifies for the tax credit whether the threshold to qualify is Energy Star or the more strict ARRA (U and SHGC .30 or below).

• Manufacturer’s Certification – Harvey Windows & Patio Doors
  Purchased January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009
