There are certain rules that may apply depending on your state but Doors and Windows are on the list of the Energy Star Tax Credit.
Here is information directly from the Government Website:
Windows, Doors, Skylights
Requirements
U factor <=0.30
SHGC <=0.30
What do these acronyms mean?
- SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) measures how well a window blocks heat from sunlight. The lower the SHGC, the lower the heat gain through a window. SHGC ranges from 0 to 1.
- U-Factor measures how well a window, door, or skylight prevents heat from escaping. It is similar to the R value for insulation. The lower the number, the more efficient the window. Ratings usually range from 0.20 to 1.20.
Tax Credit does NOT include installation costs.
