Weatherization
saves taxes
SALEM — Oregonians who have
weatherized their homes may be able
to claim a credit on their 1978 state
income tax returns. Homeowners
can take a credit o f $125 or one-
quarter o f the cost o f weatherizing,
whichever is less.
The tax credit must be claimed for
the tax year in which the
weatherization materials were in
stalled, with one exception. On 1977
tax returns, the credit was denied to
persons who had work done but had
not yet paid fo r the w ork. The
Oregon Department o f Revenue will
honor credits on 1978 returns from
those taxpayers who weatherized af
ter October 4, 1977 but were turned
down because the work had not been
paid for. As the law is now being in
terpreted, the credit may be claimed
fo r expenses incurred, but not
necessarilly paid for, such as under a
long-term weatherization loan.
Acceptable weatherization work
includes items such as insulation,
storm windows and doors, weather-
stripping, caulking, glass fireplace
screens or fireplace grates with heat
exchangers. A list o f qualifying items
is available from the Department o f
Revenue.
Work must be installed to meet
requirements o f the state building
code and must be certified by a
building inspector or contractors.
The weatherization certificate must
be attached to the return.
The home being weatherized must
be in current use. New homes under
construction do not qualify. Mobile
homes do not qualify.

So blow the whistle on cold’s foul play.
Wintertime’s weather has
pounced on us now, bringing the
cold and snow. While heat
ing systems work
overtime to keep \
your home at a
com fy 68 degrees,
temperatures out
side dip below freez
ing.Whipped by winds
of thirty miles an hour and more,
the chill factor drops temperatures
further. Your hands grow num b as
you struggle with tire chains to
keep your car straight on frozen
ice-slicked roads. Maybe the cold,
brisk air is invigorating... until the
postman delivers winter’s first
hom e heating bill. Then you want
to scream.
Yes, wintertime weather
runs roughshod over home heat
ing costs. And shorter days
mean more electric
energy for heating
and lighting your
home. That’s why
hom e heating costs
are higher. But, with
the help o f Pacific
Power, there’s som ething you can
do about it. And, for
greater economy,
you can do it
yourself.
Start with
a visit to the
people at Pacific
Power.They’ve
got a
fistful of brochures and pamphlets
that show a lot o f ways to cut down
the cold. And they’re all free.
Then, do it yourself: extra
insulation, weather stripping,
storm windows, water heater wraps
and more. All you need are a few
com m on tools, a little bit of time,
and Pacific Power’s free guides.
You’ll blow the whistle on cold’s
foul play. And save even
more when you do it
yourself.
