HOW CAN THE NEW ENERGY TAX INCENTIVES BENEFIT YOU ?

If you are considering purchasing replacement windows, remember that the energy tax incentives, included in the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act can help you save money.

This legislation provides consumers with tax credits for making their homes more energy efficient.
Purchase Gorell ENERGY STAR® qualified windows from 6-time ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Gorell Enterprises. You’ll save twice—first with the tax credit, then by significantly lowering your home energy usage!

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE AMERICAN RECOVERY & REINVESTMENT ACT

The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act:

* Provides a consumer tax credit up to $1,500 for 30% of the cost of qualified remodeling projects that improve the energy efficiency of an existing home—including replacement windows.

* Applies to improvements made from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. 

* Applies to windows and doors with a U-value of at least 0.30 and solar heat gain coefficient of at least 0.30.

HOW CAN THE TAX CREDIT HELP YOU?

Simply purchase Gorell ENERGY STAR® qualified replacement windows now and when you file your income taxes you'll be able to take advantage of the tax credit.

Compliance is easy—use the ENERGY STAR® rating label-found on all Gorell ENERGY STAR® qualified windows or the Manufacturer's Certification Statement to claim the credit.
 
 
TAX CREDIT VS. DEDUCTION?

The $1,500 tax credit is not a deduction.

Deductions are used to calculate your total taxable income.
This new tax credit is much more advantageous than a deduction because you apply the tax credit directly to the balance due the IRS on your tax return—or increase your refund.

Whether your taxable income for 2009 is  $75,000 or $1,000,000, you may  receive the full $1,500 reduction to your tax payment or a $1,500 increase to the amount of your refund.

WHAT IS GREEN SEAL? 
 
 
THE POWER OF THE SEAL—THE GREEN SEAL SPEAKS VOLUMES

The Green Seal  says that a product or service has been tested according to science-based procedures, that it works as well or better than others in its class, and that it has been evaluated without bias or conflict of interest. The Green "Seal of Approval"  has come to stand for reliability, fairness, and integrity.

Green Seal's  evaluations are based on state-of-the-art science and information using internationally recognized methods and procedures. To earn the coveted Green Seal,  a product must meet the Green Seal  environmental standard for the category as demonstrated by rigorous evaluation, testing and a plant visit.

The Green Seal  provides a business advantage, for it identifies a product as environmentally preferable, provides third-party corroboration of environmental claims, and distinguishes a product from competitors that can't support their environmental assertions.
