Windows
Windows are the eyes of your home. What do you see when you look through yours?
Windows are one of the most energy efficient upgrades you can do to your home. A dual pane window can be up to 1000 times more energy efficient than an old single pane window. Whether you are looking for retro fit windows or windows for your new home, GreenHouse has it all. We provide a wide variety of high quality windows, with several different options and styles available from three nationally respected window manufacturers,Amerimax, Ply-Gem, (formerly known as CertainTeed) and Milgard. We have chosen these lines of replacement windows because through our years of experience in this industry we have found that dollar for dollar you're not going to get better windows. You can save a few bucks and get a 'cheap' window. You can spend a whole lot for something that isn't any more efficient or durable. Or you can get the most bang for your buck with one of these product lines. We can provide you with virtually anything you can imagine for your window needs. Whether you are looking for efficiency or styling, quality construction or ease of use, you will love what our windows will do to change how your home looks and feels.
Trapping and maintaining circulating air drastically improves the energy efficiency of a home. GreenHouse offers three nationally recognized brands of dual pane windows, Amerimax, Ply Gem, and Milgard, which effectively reduce the amount of energy lost by a home. Ply Gem offers a variety of sliders, single and double hung vinyl windows, along with sliding and French-style vinyl doors. Milgard, which has been in business for 51 years, offers a full array of vinyl and aluminum windows as well as doors to suit discriminating homeowners’ tastes. While many window companies are simply distributors of another company’s products, Milgard is a vertically-integrated window and patio door manufacturer. To ensure top quality from start to finish, Milgard begins by precisely controlling the vinyl compound formulation to withstand harsh climate conditions. The company extrudes its own frame material, and fabricates all vinyl windows and doors to order, ensuring the tightest control over quality.
Tax credits for window replacement
On February 17, 2009, the The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed into law. It provides a one-time tax credit for qualifying energy efficient home improvement products. Taxpayers purchasing replacement windows in 2009 and 2010 that meet specific energy efficiency requirements are eligible for 30% of the amount as a tax credit up to $1,500 for the years of 2009 and 2010. The criteria for qualifying windows is stringent. Not all windows companies make their windows to these strict levels. GreenHouse will insure that you will be able to maximize your rebate.
