Energy Efficient Tax Credits For Your Alabama Home in 2023
Think Green! Go Green!
We hear these phrases all the time, and while the idea of going green seems smart, it can be expensive.
Or is it?
Improving a home's energy efficiency is one of the top reasons homeowners choose to update their windows and doors. Energy-efficient windows can improve your home's year-round comfort and help you save on monthly energy costs. And now with the help of a new tax credit, energy-efficient replacement windows and doors may actually be more affordable than you think.
The Benefits of Energy-Efficient Windows
One thing homeowners can do to save energy and add value to their homes is to replace old drafty windows and doors with energy-efficient ones.
Windows and doors are more energy efficient when they can insulate your home against the flow of heat, cold, and wind.
The upgraded insulation also improves temperature control and comfort.
Energy-efficient windows help keep a consistent and comfortable temperature in your home, so no more running back and forth to your thermostat.
As a bonus, energy-efficient windows can also have a special coating that provides protection against the sun’s ultraviolet rays. This helps preserve carpets, rugs, wood, fabrics, and furniture.
A New Way to Help Offset the Cost
While investing in energy-efficient windows and doors may cost more than other options, new tax credits are available to help offset the expense.
Through the new Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit, you will be able to receive a tax credit for energy-efficient upgrades made to your Alabama home beginning January 1, 2023. While not available at the point of sale, these new tax credits can reduce the cost of home electrification projects.
How The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit Works
Instead of reducing the purchase price, the credit will be claimed when you file your taxes, and it can increase your refund or reduce the amount of tax you owe.
For exterior doors, the limit is $250 for one door or $500 for all doors.
For exterior windows and skylights, the limit is $600.
With these new tax credits, plus the money you save yearly in electricity costs, it’s a no-brainer to consider replacing your old windows and doors.
