What rebates are available for window replacement in Ottawa right now?
Several rebate programs are currently available for Ottawa homeowners replacing windows, with potential savings of up to $10,000 or more.
The Canada Greener Homes Grant is the primary federal program offering up to $5,000 for window and door replacements. To qualify, your new windows must meet ENERGY STAR certification (U-factor of 1.22 or lower) and you'll need both pre- and post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluations. The program covers triple-pane windows, ENERGY STAR certified products, and installations that improve your home's energy efficiency rating.
Enbridge Gas offers the Home Efficiency Rebate program with up to $5,000 available for windows and doors when combined with other energy upgrades like insulation or heating system improvements. This program focuses on natural gas savings and requires specific energy efficiency thresholds. Many Ottawa homeowners can stack this with the federal grant for maximum savings.
Ontario's HER+ program provides additional rebates for comprehensive energy retrofits, though it requires bundling multiple upgrades together. Some municipalities in the Ottawa region also offer property tax incentives for energy-efficient home improvements, though these vary by specific location.
For Ottawa's Climate Zone 6 conditions, triple-pane windows with Low-E coatings typically qualify for the highest rebate amounts. The key is ensuring your contractor uses ENERGY STAR certified products and follows proper installation procedures. Most rebate programs require professional installation and may have specific timing requirements for applications.
Important timing note: Apply for pre-retrofit evaluations before starting work, as most programs won't provide rebates for completed projects. For help lining your project up with current rebates, request a free quote through Ottawa Window Pros and confirm with the installer that the units meet the certification the program requires.
