What Kind of Windows Qualify for Rebates in Ontario Now?

[adnrio]

Thinking about upgrading my windows, but I don’t want to buy something that turns out not to qualify for rebates. What specs or labels should I be looking for in Ontario's 2025 rebate programs?

From what I remember, it has to do with Energy Star ratings and certain thermal values. But yeah, would be good to see a proper list.

That was exactly what I was confused about before I ordered my windows last month. I found this helpful breakdown online: windows rebate 2025 https://windowtechcanada.ca/your-ultimate-guide-to-ontario-window-rebates-in-2025/ . It lists the exact U-factor and SHGC requirements for eligibility. You’ll want to look for Energy Star-certified products that meet or exceed Zone 2 standards (for most of Ontario). Some models that seem energy-efficient actually fall short by a small margin, so double-check the performance labels. Also, some rebates require triple-pane glass, especially in northern zones. Thanks to that info, I was able to compare different brands and models before buying. I’m getting nearly $3,000 back once the application is processed.
