Is The Federal Energy Tax Credit a Farce?

Have you heard in the news about the Federal Energy Tax Credit?

Some window treatment manufacturers have gone so far as to take this opportunity to make claims that their products may qualify for the Federal Energy Tax Credit offered by the US government.

There was an ad on TV last night about Hunter Douglas products that ended with a statement along the lines of... "certain Hunter Douglas products qualify for the Federal Energy Tax Credit."

This type of deceptive advertising only leads to confused and disappointed consumers, especially when they find out that there is only one product in the Hunter Douglas line that is certified for the tax credit. And even only under CERTAIN (dare I say... impossible) conditions, will it qualify for the tax credit!

Unfortunately, it seems as though NO actual window coverings qualify for this Federal Energy Tax Credit.

Buyers beware!

Ask alot of questions...
