Episode Notes

You'll probably want to replace your windows with more energy-efficient ones before New Jersey’s “fool’s spring” turns into its “second winter” - or before the “fake spring” becomes the “third winter.” New Jersey’s transition from winter to spring might bring a lot of meteorological turbulence - but it need not affect your home’s temperatures or your utility bill if you get the right window replacements. The home improvement experts at Elevated Remodeling can tell you how to do that - and do it with maximum savings - in their detailed guide.

If you go that route, your replacements may qualify for federal and state rebates that could cover as much as 30% of project costs.

The company also emphasizes that energy-conserving window replacements can improve comfort and curb appeal, attracting more buyers. Such windows can provide better insulation, keeping indoor temperatures comfortable all year and reducing heating and cooling costs.

“Buyers are willing to pay more, knowing they’ll benefit from long-term savings,” Elevated Remodeling’s guide explains. “Many homeowners recoup a significant portion of their investment when selling, making it a smart financial decision.”

But if you want to reap these benefits, your new windows will have to meet certain requirements. Elevated Remodeling notes that windows must be ENERGY STAR certified by the federal government to qualify for state rebates and tax credits. Elevated Remodeling advises homeowners to look for the ENERGY STAR-certified label when purchasing new windows and to consult with their contractor to ensure proper installation per eligibility requirements.

The guide also highlights some other considerations to keep in mind as you check your eligibility and apply for these tax credits. As you check out different programs, you should be on the lookout for any income caps that may limit your eligibility, and you should know in advance the documentation you'll need to include with your application, such as:

your tax returns, proof of purchase, installation details, IRS Form 5695 (for federal tax credits), receipts, and product labels.

Guess what? Elevated Remodeling provides ENERGY STAR-certified vinyl windows that qualify for New Jersey’s tax credits. These windows are available in a range of styles - like double-hung, slider, picture, awning, and others - and are also low maintenance, thanks to vinyl’s resistance to rot, corrosion, and warping.
