<p>If you were planning on making changes to your home in the next year or two, you might want to consider taking a more green approach to remodeling projects such as replacing windows and doors, etc.</p>
<p>A tax credit program available for consumers through the new stimulus package can help you out on your taxes, when you decide to help out the environment.</p>
<p>This tax credit program could earn you up to $1500 back on your taxes! Certain credits are available to consumers that decide to take a more environmentally-friendly approach to replacing windows, garage doors, insulation, heating/cooling systems and more to your existing home or new construction.</p>
<p>In addition to a tax credit in the following year, the benefits for adding these energy-efficient products to your home will most likely result in lower energy bills in the years to come.</p>
<p>More information on which types of remodeling qualify, limits to the tax credit and other FAQ&rsquo;s are available at the Energy Star website, so please visit <a title="blocked::http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=products.pr_tax_credits" href="http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=products.pr_tax_credits">http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=products.pr_tax_credits</a> for details.</p>
