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.

When should I consider finding a local company?

If you’ve already done your research, and visited www.denverwindowinfo.com. You’ should be feeling confident you have a good start to understanding what options you have and how to take advantage of tax credits. I’d really recommend considering contacting a local professional today.

As the year progresses, Denver window installation companies are likely to see a greater volume of interest this year than they did last year. With the $1,500 tax credit availability peaking interest late in 2009, many homeowners found them selfs frustrated after learning they’d waited to long and could not have their new replacement windows installed by the end of the year.

With that being said, as the season begins to change, more and more people will likely be pushing to get their new windows installed. If you wanted to go see a new box office movie like Avatar in the theater, you wouldn’t want to wait until the last minute to take action. In fact – you might want to buy the tickets on-line to ensure it’s not sold out. Once you have the tickets, it will still be important to get to the theater early to ensure you’ve got good seats.

The same principle’s will apply to buying replacement windows in Denver. The rush will certainly be in place early this year.
