Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a window 'ENERGY STAR'?

ENERGY STAR certification depends on U-Factor (insulation) and SHGC (solar heat gain) values appropriate to your climate zone. New Jersey spans 1-3 IECC zones - the right ratings vary north to south. Your installer should match the certification to your specific NJ location for the maximum credit and savings.

What does the federal tax credit cover?

Section 25C covers 30% of the window purchase cost (NOT installation) up to $600 per year. ENERGY STAR Most Efficient models are the most credit-favorable choice. Keep receipts and the manufacturer certificate for tax filing.

Triple-pane worth it in New Jersey?

In colder New Jersey regions (zones 5-6), triple-pane low-E pays back in 8-12 years through heating savings. In warmer southern zones, double-pane low-E with appropriate SHGC is usually sufficient and the triple-pane premium isn't worth the extra cost.
