Your 2025 Shutter Installation May Be Eligible For A 2025 Tax Credit

Thank you for your interest in the 2025 federal energy tax credit. This tax credit is for those who have purchased and installed Polywood shutters in 2025.

Please note that the time to install eligible shutters has passed, and these steps are for the 2025 federal tax credit. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

NOTE: The Polywood Shutter qualifies under Section 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit as an insulating building envelope component.

Steps For Getting The Energy Tax Credit With Polywood Shutters

The Energy Tax Credit benefits American homeowners who install qualifying energy-efficient products. Sunburst Shutters is proud to have the only eligible interior shutters in Bakersfield. Follow these steps to earn the energy tax credit in Bakersfield with your Polywood shutters:

  1. Buy energy-efficient Polywood shutters from Sunburst Shutters Bakersfield in 2025.
  2. You will need to use your shutters in your primary residence—not a rental property or second home.
  3. Use the Manufacturer’s Certificate when submitting your taxes for 2025.
  4. You’ll get a tax credit of 30% on the purchase price of your Polywood shutters, up to $1200.

Polywood Shutters Are Still The Best Window Treatment For Energy Efficiency

Polywood shutters were created as an insulating system and are the leading energy-efficient window treatments in Bakersfield. Unique from every other interior shutter, Polywood shutters come with patented weatherstripping to obstruct external temperatures that might otherwise enter through your windows. Polywood’s specially formulated paint finish, construction density, and other attributes also play a role in these shutters being the most energy-efficient window treatments you are able to purchase.

Polywood thermal testing showing superior energy efficiency

Outside testing concludes that Polywood shutters block up to 30 degrees of airflow coming through a window and boast a 45.96% reduction in heat transfer. They also have been shown to be up to 70% more energy-conserving than wood plantation shutters and 1600% more efficient than standard aluminum blinds. That kind of insulation translates into big savings on your energy bills!
