Don’t pay a premium for your view. Install energy-efficient windows to save energy and money.
Abundant natural light is a must for many homeowners, but if you’re looking out of single-pane inefficient windows, you may be paying a premium for your view. Inefficient windows can cause heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, resulting in higher energy bills and discomfort. Advances in technology and design have dramatically improved the performance of energy-efficient windows. Program qualified windows can help reduce heat gain or loss for lower energy bills and help reduce outside noise. The result is an all-around more comfortable home.

Completed Incentive Application and required documentation must be received within 90 days of completed service (the date the work is completed) to meet eligibility criteria.
Areas that are not finished living spaces, such as a garage or a basement, do not qualify. Exterior doors will be considered for incentive if they are 80 percent glass. Skylights will be considered for incentive if all requirements are met. Save your National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) window stickers for incentive processing. Windows may be installed by the customer or contractor.
A copy of your windows manufacturer specification invoice clearly indicating the U-Factor and SHGC of each window may be submitted in lieu of your National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) stickers.
Homes built less than one calendar year prior to the work being performed do not qualify for the incentive. Incentives do not qualify if work is performed as part of building code requirements.
Incentives are limited to one-time installations within the qualified space of the home and will not exceed window purchase price. Please see Incentive Application for a list of required documentation and additional terms and conditions. Additional terms and conditions may apply.
