Window and door rebates
Get up to $2,000 for installing energy-efficient windows and doors
Upgrading the windows and exterior doors in your home will help you prevent drafts and save energy. Energy-efficient windows and doors are built to insulate better, equipped with a range of features that help prevent heat loss in the winter, and heat gain in the summer.
Window and door rebate options
| Upgrade | Rebate available |
|---|---|
| Windows/doors: U-Factor 1.22 (W/m2-K) or less* (Tier 2) | $100 per window or door, maximum rebate $2,000 |
U-Factor is a rating for measuring a window's resistance to heat flow. The lower the rating, the better its insulating properties.

Installation requirements

- A bay window, which may be made up of several window sections, is regarded as one RO.
- All windows and/or doors installed must be new, in good working order, not previously installed in another home or building.
- All upgrades must be installed by a licensed contractor with a GST number and a valid B.C. business license for the trade applicable to the upgrade being installed. Self installations are not eligible.
