Window Rebate Details
The Ontario window replacement rebate is straightforward: $100 for every window or door opening you replace. Replace 15 windows and 2 doors = $1,700 back. There is no maximum number of openings — the more you replace, the more you get back.
However, windows cannot be done as a standalone upgrade. They are part of the bundled assessment path, meaning you need to pair them with at least one other qualifying upgrade such as insulation, air sealing, or a heat pump water heater.
Requirements
- Minimum 3 windows or 1 door to count as a qualifying upgrade
- ENERGY STAR® certified — non-certified windows do not qualify
- Bundled path — at least one other upgrade required
- Pre-retrofit assessment before any work begins
- Post-retrofit assessment within 180 days
- Registered contractor must perform the installation
Window Costs vs Rebates
| Project | Typical Cost | Rebate |
|---|---|---|
| 5 windows | $2,500–$6,000 | $500 |
| 10 windows | $5,000–$12,000 | $1,000 |
| 15 windows + 2 doors | $8,500–$20,000 | $1,700 |
| 10 windows + insulation + seal | $7,000–$17,000 | Up to $8,950 |
Pro tip: The window rebate ($100/opening) is modest on its own. The real value comes from combining with insulation ($7,700) and air sealing ($250). Think of windows as the add-on, not the main event.
