Upgrading windows is an investment that can lower electric bills, increase comfort and improve the value of your home.
Beginning April 1, 2020, Chelan County PUD boosted incentives for window upgrades as follows:
Replacement windows must have a
U factor of .30 or lower. Patio doors follow the same guidelines as windows, but must have a
U factor of only .35 or lower.
Customers replacing single-pane windows must show proof that those windows were in the home prior to new windows being installed. This can be as simple as taking a few photos of your old windows and submitting them with your rebate application.
PUD staff will inspect the home to validate heat type prior to payment.
New rebate amounts are retroactive to Jan. 1, 2020.
Who is eligible
- Offers apply to owners of existing site-built, single-family and multi-family homes (up to 10 units) and manufactured homes situated in Chelan County
