Tax break to NOT replace your windows?

Increasing your home’s energy efficiency does not have to break the bank.  There are a variety offederal and state-level options available to the owners of older and historic homes and buildings who are looking for financial incentives to undertake large weatherization and/or rehabilitation projects.  The U.S Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program has been extended through 2010 and – YES – applies to storm windows.  Despite some confusion, storm windows do quality for the tax credit.  For more information see The National Trust For Historic Preservation’s website www.preservationnation.org/issues/weatherization/incentives.html.
