Lindsay can save you money on your energy bills and possibly qualify you for a $1,500 credit on your federal income tax!*
2009 passage of the Economic Stimulus Plan means homeowners can take advantage of tax credits for energy-efficient improvements, which includes Lindsay windows and doors.
The tax credit is equal to 30% of the cost of qualifying energy efficient upgrades, up to a maximum of $1,500 for 2009 and 2010.This includes all Lindsay Windows with our 366 glass.
There are some technical window requirements that must be met, including U-Factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient less than or equal to 0.30. Talk to your Lindsay dealer for more information.
Other details:
• Keep your sales receipt and our manufacturer's certificate.
• Purchase must be made before Dec. 31, 2010.
• Claim your tax credit on your Federal return for the applicable 2009 and/or 2010 tax year.
• You can download IRS form 5695 here.
• Tax credit applies only to the price of remodel products. It does not apply to any installation fees or charges.
