American Recovery & Reinvestment Act 2009

All of Ideal’s Series 4500 Double Hung, Picture Window, Slider, Casement and Awning products qualify when manufactured with the Energy Gold package.  If you’re thinking about replacing your windows, remember that the NEW energy tax incentive included in the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act 2009 can save you money!

It is important to know that not all Energy Star Rated products qualify for this tax credit.
