Did you know that investing in your home could bring you some extra cash? Hugh Harris, CEO of Dixie HomeCrafters™, offers you the best ways to get valuable tax credits on your home.If I don’t qualify for aid under the new federal housing-rescue plan, how can I see a return investment on my house?
Energy-efficient upgrades like windows, siding and insulation are eligible for a tax credit of 30%. That could mean $1500 for you. By switching your home over to ENERGY STAR® certified appliances, you reap all kinds of benefits in the form of tax credits. You’ll also save a great deal of money every month in utilities as you support the green movement and provide the world with more clean air.What is the easiest way to make my home more energy-efficient?
Upgrade your insulation. At Dixie HomeCrafters™, we offer Diamond Barrier™, a reflective insulation that blocks radiant heat in attics. Also, upgrade your windows! The Dixie SuperWindow™ is ENERGY STAR® rated, which means it will give you the highest possible thermal performance. All of our windows using Earthwise™ Low-E Glass are ENERGY STAR® compliant. We also feature ERG™ Energy Reflective Glass, the Enviro-Seal™ Spacer System and the The Aller-Guard® System. The Dixie SuperWindow™ is guaranteed to save you 40 percent on your energy bills, and if your heating and cooling bills don’t drop 40 percent in the first year, we’ll pay the difference up to $500.
If I am planning on putting my house on the market, what are some of the areas that will need the most improvement?
Gutters are one of the quality features that agents and homebuyers will notice. Clogged gutters cause the water to backup and overflow from the roof, which in turn can cause water to flow in all the wrong places. The water can also cause moldy leaky basements as well as moldy and rotten wood on the house, stairs and porches. At Dixie, we offer The Original GutterGuardian™, a clog free gutter system that protects the home from leaves, debris and other elements that may damage the structure. This is one of the best investments you can make – in a recession or anytime. How do I avoid costly maintenance on my house in the future?
Upgrade those windows. The Dixie SuperWindow™ is ENERGY STAR® rated, which means they will give you the highest possible thermal performance. These windows save furniture, carpets and draperies from UV damage, and they require no maintenance for decades. Where can I go for more information on federal and state incentives for these upgrades?
