- Verify Existing Windows
To qualify for this incentive, your existing windows must be verified during a Home Energy Assessment or a Virtual Special Home Visit. During this assessment, an Energy Specialist will assess your current energy usage and recommend improvements to save energy in your home (like insulation and air sealing upgrades, window upgrades, etc.).
The specialist will also verify the number of windows you are eligible to replace. If they determine that air sealing and insulation upgrades are needed, you will be required to make these changes in order to receive incentives for the window replacements.
These upgrades will maximize the efficiency of installing new windows

ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient certified windows can help reduce energy costs, put a stop to cold drafts in the winter, and reduce UV sun damage to floors, carpets, and furniture.
A typical home can expect savings of $101 to $583 a year when replacing single-pane windows with ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient certified models. Lower energy consumption also reduces greenhouse gas emissions from homes.
