Pubs, Restaurants, Hotels, Motels, and more, all use TWH's for the very large cost savings, being able to expense or depreciate the up-front costs. So if you have an in-home business, or you just want to make points with your boss by cutting expenses, keep that in mind.

Canadians need to seriously read the fine print before going crazy on home improvements. It's a similar situation here in Canada with the Home Renovation Tax Credit.

Primarily to cut the cooling cost and keep the front of the house cooler (where my spouse telecommutes five days a week). We looked into the tax credit (for window tinting, installation is not counted, only material costs) and for the amount of tax credit we would receive (~$150) it was just not worth the hassle of a future audit - so are not counting in our tax returns. But still think it was worth it to have the tinting done - the A/C is now "keeping up" in all the rooms. We just had window tint installed on the windows of our house.
