The Energy Policy Act of 2005
What the Energy Bill Means to You

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 offers consumers federal tax credits for ENERGY STAR qualified windows and doors installed between
January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007.

The IRS has released its Guidance Notices and all ENERGY STAR qualified windows and patio doors from B.F. Rich that are installed in the appropriate ENERGY STAR climate zone are eligible for the tax credit of 10% of the cost up to $200, not including the cost of installation.  Homeowners should save the ENERGY STAR label from the installed windows and the purchase receipt as verification, in the event the Internal Revenue Service audits their tax return.

Tax credits are also available for builders of new homes that met the ENERGY STAR New Homes criteria. For more information about ENERGY STAR New Homes, visit www.energystar.gov/homes.
