Replacing the windows in your home with energy efficient windows is a great way to reduce your monthly energy costs. New windows can contain a number of features to better insulate your home, including low-emissivity glass, multiple panes of glass, and internal chambers in the frame, all of which can help reduce the workload of your HVAC system as it heats or cools your home. Less work for your HVAC system means less energy usage for your home, savings that you can take advantage of with each monthly energy bill.

But, how much money exactly will you save? It all depends on how well your home is insulated as a whole and the climate where you live. According to ENERGY STAR, a U.S. Department of Energy organization that rates the insulating properties of new windows, your home can use up to 30 percent less energy with ENERGY STAR-rated windows.

Can You Receive a Tax Credit in 2018 for Having Energy Efficient Windows Installed?

Short answer: yes! You are eligible for a tax credit if you update your home with energy efficient windows. You don’t need to replace all the windows in your home to qualify. The tax credit is 10 percent of the cost, up to $200. Combine this credit with monthly energy savings and it’s easy to see how you can reap a nice return on your investment in new replacement windows.
