Many Pella windows and doors qualify for tax credits for window and door replacement as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), commonly known as the economic stimulus bill signed into law Feb. 17.

“Today, Americans are spending more time entertaining at home and as a result, they are making upgrades to improve the use and enjoyment of their homes,” said Pella Corporation’s Vice President of Retail Replacement Annette Bravard. “The new U.S. window and door tax credit helps Americans save at tax time, and more importantly, energy-efficient Pella replacement windows and doors help homeowners save on utility bills for years. “

Under the new economic stimulus plan, American homeowners can claim a tax credit up to 30 percent of the cost of qualifying energy-efficient replacement windows and doors, not exceeding $1,500 for units installed in their primary residence 2009 or 2010.
