WINDOWS
Today's savvy buyers are conscious of keeping their utilities down to a minimum and therefore exposure and windows play a big part in looking to keep their home energy efficient.
Insulated windows are definitely a plus and typically they pay for themselves in a five year period. Well placed skylights are also a great touch to add value.
Congress has extended energy efficiency tax credits for most homeowners through the end of 2010, so if you’ve been looking to upgrade your water heater or windows and doors, you can probably still get a tax credit in the coming year.
Some less common of the tax credits for home improvements will be around all the way until 2016.
Many companies offer tax credits with specific types of windows. Check your local Home Depot, Lowes and other window companies for specifics.
