A change has been made to a tax credit for energy-efficient home improvements. This change could be a valuable marketing tool for your firm. Homeowners who make energy-efficient updates to their homes by Dec. 31, 2010, may be eligible for a tax credit worth 30 percent of the installation costs (materials only) up to $1,500 per home over the two-year period as part of the federal stimulus package. The previous amount was $500. This includes installation of a painted or coated Energy Star-labeled metal roof. Visit www.metalroofing.com and www.energystar.gov for more details.
