If you’re a senior homeowner in Pennsylvania who needs to replace your windows, your Social Security benefits may not be enough to cover the cost. Elevated Remodeling’s (800-672-8519) report will help you see if you qualify for government tax credits and other incentives.
The cost of window replacements shouldn’t detract from your enjoyment of Pennsylvania’s winter wonderland - especially if you’re on a fixed income in retirement. That’s why the home improvement experts at Elevated Remodeling have published a report on state government tax credits and rebates from select utility companies for senior homeowners like you. You may qualify for these incentives if you make energy-efficient home improvements, like ENERGY STAR-certified window replacements.
Read the report here.
A November 2024 report in USA Today notes that Social Security benefits were never intended to fully cover the cost of retirement for American seniors. They currently provide less than half of a typical worker’s pre-retirement earnings. This gap may widen in the future, as the Congressional Budget Office projects that Social Security funds could be depleted by 2035.
Given these circumstances, it’s understandable if you're worried that your Social Security benefits won’t cover the cost of home improvements. Elevated Remodeling’s report will tell you everything you need to know about state-specific incentives, like the Energy-Efficient Home Improvement Credit. If your home improvement qualifies, this program will offer funds to cover up to 30% of the costs, including up to $600 per year for window replacements.
If you don't qualify for the state incentives, no worries! The report also gives you the details of qualifying and applying for rebates from Pennsylvania utility companies like PECO Energy, PPL Electric Utilities, and Duquesne Light Company. These businesses offer rebates for energy-efficient home improvements like ENERGY STAR-certified window replacements, which can reduce your energy consumption and utility bills.
ENERGY STAR-certified windows meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) and the Department of Energy’s (DOE) energy efficiency standards. These windows often have U-factors and Solar Heat Gain Coefficients (SHGCs) of no more than 0.30 each. The report advises you to look for windows with the ENERGY STAR label, which have been third-party tested and certified to meet the criteria.
Elevated Remodeling offers such windows in a range of styles, including double-hung, slider, picture, and custom designs, with various grid and screen options. The company serves homeowners in New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware, besides Pennsylvania. Their commitment to excellent craftsmanship and customer service has earned them a 4.5-star average rating on Google and an "A+" rating from the Better Business Bureau.
One happy customer shared: “The whole team has been wonderful across the board. The techs were quick, polite, and efficient with the window install. Looking forward to working with them again!”
Energy-efficient window replacements can do much more than take a load off your home's HVAC system and reduce your utility bills. They can also increase your home’s value and keep it comfy all year long. Elevated Remodeling's report will give you all the deets on these benefits!
