That is a good one..... Truth is, Uncle Sam is paying for 30% of your qualifying window, door, insullation, up to $5000 spent, via a $1500 tax credit (not a deduction, a credit) through the end of the year. Applies to the materials, not labor. I'm hoping this helps keep me busy through yearend......
As for the windows paying off in terms of energy saved, it depends on how bad the old ones were, how many you replace, and how well insullated your home is. On average, without taking the tax credit into consideration, Andersen 400 replacements will pay for themselves in saved fuel dollars in approximately 5-7 years. Less if installing a lower price point window, such as Silverline.
