Rebate Details

  • Windows and patio doors must be installed in heated living spaces (no unheated garages or sunrooms).
  • Applies to owners of any existing home type. No new construction.
  • Installation may be completed by a contractor (recommended) or do-it-yourself (DIY). Find local contractors.
  • New windows or patio doors must meet U-factor rating requirements listed below.
  • To qualify for the single-pane rate, you must provide photo proof of the old windows or patio doors you are replacing that clearly shows they are single pane. If it is not possible to confirm that the original glass was single pane from your photos, Chelan PUD will only be able to pay the double pane rate.

 

U-Factor Ratings

When replacing your windows or patio doors, you'll need to look for the U-factor—a measure of how well the glass prevents heat from passing through it.

You can find the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) U-factor rating on the manufacturer sticker on your new windows or patio doors. View this information in a printable PDF.

To qualify for the Chelan PUD rebate: 

  • Windows must have a U-factor rating of 0.30 or lower.
  • Patio doors must have a U-factor of 0.35 or lower.
