Garage Doors Qualify for Energy Tax Credit

The 2009-2010 Energy Tax Credit applies to garage doors too!  If the garage doors meet the eligibility requirements, and they are installed on an insulated garage, and installed with appropriate weather seal strips, they will qualify.  The tax credit would be for up to 30% of the product price, (not labor).  New insulating materials (polyurethane) can raise the R-value (insulating performance) of garage doors from R-9 (with polystyrene) to R17.9.  You must save your receipt / invoice and the "Manufacturers Certification Statement" to file Form 5695 for the credit.  For more about the eligibity and filing requirements, please click here.
