Installation requirements

• Windows and doors must replace existing windows and doors in the building envelope of the home between an unheated space (e.g. outdoors) and a heated space.
• The number of windows and/or doors eligible for rebates is based on the number of rough openings (RO) in which windows or doors were replaced. Each RO is counted as one window and/or door.
  • 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.
• The upgrades need to be completed by a licensed contractor with a valid B.C. business license for the relevant work and a GST number.
