The opportunity is running out for homeowners to use their Federal Tax Credit. As the year is nearing it’s end, window contractors will be booking months ahead. If you’re planning to purchase your windows and receive the $1,500 tax credit, all windows must be installed by December 31st of this year.

Colorado residents residing within Douglas County  now have one more reason to take advantage of a new energy efficient rebate program. The rebate, is a 20% rebate directly from Douglas county with a maximum of $1,000 returned.  If a homeowner spends money on energy effient windows in Douglas County, 20% of the contracted price is refunded back from the county. It will come in by check ,three to six weeks after the job is completed.

The county does require homeowners to pull permits for the job, however. The contractor also needs to be licensed in Douglas county and most commonly, the contractor will handle the permit. After the job is complete, Douglas county will send a inspector out to review the install and verify new windows were installed. After the inspectors leave, simply fill out the one page form and send in the contract. The county will then send you a check for 20% of the contracted price.

This, combined with the 30% discount applied by the federal $1,500 tax credit, can help the homeowner to save up to 50% of the cost of the windows! What a wonderful time to take advantage of these savings.

As the bill moves through the House and on to the Senate, initial optimism for more tax credits in the future for home owners is positive.

H.R. 5019 Is the bill, and it’ll be great to see the jobs this bill might help create and in Colorado, with so many homes needing renovation, this will be a welcome opportunity for many homeowners and investors.

We’ll keep you posted and provide additional details on the bill as news breaks!

Anderson windows has a newer line of windows called 100.  Anderson is a industry leader, selling more windows each year  than any other company today. It was important for Andersen to recognize how different the window industry is today compared to even five years ago.

Andersen’s new 100 series windows, including every window in our on-line catalog meet the .30 U-factor .30 SHGC requirements for the 2010 tax credits. The Fibrex® material was invented by Andersen, and is in large part wood particles left from shavings from their other wood window products. The new material is a innovative and environmentally friendly way to offer high performance windows, at a reduced cost.

Andersen offers this product without some of the common features you’ll find on other windows in their line. Vent stops, for example, are not available on the 100 series. The reduction in some of the “nice to have” features often available in higher end windows is may not be a major contributing factor for consumers hoping to save some extra money while looking to replace their old drafty windows.

Overall, the Andersen  100 line can offer a reduced cost for people bargain shopping new windows. The added incentives offered by the tax credit and by Andersen in rebates up to $175 are all great reasons for consumers to consider this line a strong contender.

Weather in Denver’s been interesting but the warmth is a nice and welcome change!

What if I’m now seeing water on my window seals and even on the walls and floors around my windows? In short, there could be many problems, many of these may be beyond the scope of repair or may be nearly the cost of a replacement window. Now may be a great time to get a quote and look at your options. If you’re calling a window expert to come look  at the window for repairs, expect them to offer to replace the window as their first recommendation. This is not necessarily a negative thing.

Windows that begin to leak are often suffering from other failures and the windows are likely aged or were cheaply produced. If there is no manufacturer warranty covering the windows, you may find replacing one or two windows at a time a reasonable resolution to your circumstances. Repairing the window, however, may be more costly than helpful. As the repair occurs, additional damage can be caused inadvertently to parts that had been at the brink of failure already. The effectiveness of the window to insulate you’re home, is also likely to be sacrificed even after the window is repaired.

Many times a window repair project can come as a surprise and you simply haven’t budgeted thousands of dollars needed to replace all the windows in your home. Most window companies are much more cooperative with smaller sized projects to be performed in stages than they may have been previously. As the market and business has changed over the years, smaller 1-2 window projects are becoming more common. Some consumers, however, haven’t really recognized that this is a option and recognize it may be a great way to start saving on their energy bills even if it’s only by a small percentage.

Looking for a repair?

It’s important to consider that many window repairs involve parts that may be difficult to come by, depending on the window manufacturer. In addition, it’s most common to have window parts break late in the window’s life cycle.

New vinyl windows can often feature at least 30 year lifespan, but older windows didn’t have the durability you’ll find common in windows today. If you’re in need of repair, it may be a good time to look at the cost of replacing the window with a newer efficient window. In fact, it may be a good time to consider several new windows or even replacing all those worn out money sponges throughout your home.

If new replacement windows aren’t a option, searching for your manufacturer’s website will yield your best chance of finding replacement parts. Many can be installed by a handy man or anyone handy with some tools and possibly directions that may come with the part.
