Federal Tax Credit
On December 17, 2010, President Obama signed the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. This law extends the tax credits for energy efficiency into 2011, BUT at lower levels. The levels revert back to those in effect in 2006 and 2007, which were 10% of the cost of the improvement, up to $500, with a $200 max for windows, and several other set maximums.
HighlightsEnergy Star Incentives
Energsmart is accredited by the Building Performance Institute (BPI) and is an Energy Star Partner in New York. As such, we can offer most residential programs offered through Energy Star. These are programs we all fund through taxes so you should definitely take advantage of them. A summary of the programs is as follows:
- 1.FREE AUDIT for households with annual income under $127,400. The audit includes an analysis
of your home's energy consumption and the systems that affect energy consumption. The
audit includes a deliverable detailing your current energy situation, recommended upgrades,
estimated costs, and estimated savings for those upgrades. We also perform a safety analysis
of all the combustion appliances in your home to ensure they're operating effectively and
exhausting harmful emissions (like carbon monoxide) out of your home. This is a "no brainer"
as it will give you useful information to lower your energy bills without you having to commit to
paying a dime.
- 2.If your household income is greater than $127,400 the program will still pick up part of the tab for the audit fee. The $250 audit fee is proportionally subsidized for household incomes as high as $254,799. So, for example, if your household income was $191,100, you would only pay us
$100 and the Energy Star program would pay us the other $150.
- 3.Once an audit is done the gifts keep flowing! EVERYONE qualifies for a 10% subsidy through the program. So if you agreed to do $2,000 worth of work with us, you would pay us $1,800 and the Energy Star program would cut us a check for the other $200. What's more, you could even finance that $1,800 through the program for only 3.99% (3.49% with automatic debit) on an unsecured 5, 10, or 15 year loan!
4. The program also offers a generous subsidy for LOW INCOME customers. The program will typically pay for 50% of the energy efficiency improvements for those customers with median household incomes less than 80% of the NYS median. Just to give a couple examples, a household of two qualifies for the 50% subsidy if the household income is under $42,000, and a household of four qualifies for the 50% subsidy if the household income is under $62,000. Whatever isn't picked up by the subsidy can be financed through the program with a low interest loan if you wish.
