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.

How To Get The Energy Tax Credit When Installing Polywood Shutters

The Energy Tax Credit benefits American residents who install approved energy-efficient upgrades. Sunburst Shutters is pleased to provide the only eligible louvered shutters in Minneapolis. Here’s how you can earn the energy tax credit in Minneapolis with your Polywood shutters:

  1. Buy energy-saving Polywood shutters from Sunburst Shutters Minneapolis in 2025.
  2. Shutters must be installed in your primary residence—not in a rental or vacation house.
  3. Use the Manufacturer’s Certificate when sending in your 2025 taxes in 2025.
  4. You’ll receive a tax credit of 30% on the cost of your Polywood shutters, to a maximum of $1200.
  5. The credit is only applicable to taxes owed. It shouldn’t be confused with a rebate. If you do not owe taxes, there is no credit to be provided.
 
 

Polywood Shutters Are Still The Best Window Treatment For Energy Efficiency

Polywood shutters were created as an innovative system of insulation and have become the most energy-efficient window treatments in Minneapolis. Unique from every other louvered shutter, Polywood shutters come with proprietary weatherstripping to obstruct outdoor temperatures that may otherwise enter through your windows. Polywood’s specially formulated finish, material density, and other features also result in these shutters being the most energy-efficient window treatments you are able to order.

Polywood thermal testing showing superior energy efficiency

Third-party analysis confirms that Polywood shutters block up to 30 degrees of airflow entering through a window and boast a 45.96% decrease in heat transference. They also have been shown to be up to 70% more efficient than wood interior shutters and 1600% more efficient than traditional aluminum blinds. That kind of insulation results in noticeable savings on your utility bills!
