Tax Credits, Rebates and the Stimulus Bill 
ARRA --The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act
As a result of ARRA several new tax credits are available for Americans who wish to invest in renewable energy and/or weatherization for their homes. Please note: These are tax credits, not tax deductions. A tax credit is deducted from your actual tax NOT from your income. Just one example of how much you can save on energy conservation is the Weatherization Credit.  When combined with the PVREA Insulate Program rebates from Poudre Valley REA you can save 50% off insulation, weatherstripping and other air sealing improvements to your home up to $2,100. Click on the "Saving with the Stimulus button for all the details.

INSULATION REBATES
The 2010 Insulate PVREA Program is for homeowners. It provides a rebate for work completed to insulate and air-seal their attics and exterior walls to the recommended R-Values presented in the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code. Rebates are limited to 40% of the total cost of insulation and air sealing upgrades or $300, whichever is less. CLICK ON THE INSULATE PROGRAM LOGO FOR MORE INFORMATION
