There is an up to $1,500 Federal Tax credit on these windows if they are purchased prior to 12/31/10. It is for the windows only and not installation. To get the full $1,500, you would have to spend about $5,000 on windows. Lowes has the windows that are eligible for the tax credit (as well as a few other dealers). I only installed one low-E window because the rest of mine were already installed by a previous owner (dbl. paned but not “low E” as it didn’t exist back then). It was a large picture window and the difference is night and day. As Aecetia said, the windows are slightly tinted (either green or gray) and have argon gas between the panes. They are cool to the touch and DO keep the sun and heat out of the room and keep things from fading. And looking out them makes outside come truly alive! I would highly recommend them in every room, if you can afford it. I do think they’re worth it and would be a selling point, if your property will bear the price.
Definitely. If you’re on a single pane right now, another big advantage….. Keeps the noise out.The dual pane also supposedly keeps the cool if your ac’ing your home.

We replaced all of ours several years ago and it’s truly one of the best aesthetic upgrades we’ve done in my opinion. As far as energy savings, not so much for us. We don’t use AC, don’t even have it and barely turn the heat on in the winter. So it didn’t change our utility bill but I’m sure it can affect others with higher utilization. It does help with furniture fading which is a plus. I also open/close all the windows daily and the new windows move like a dream compared to the old ones.
