Planning a window replacement project in Connecticut? You may qualify for a $100 rebate per eligible ENERGY STAR® certified triple-pane replacement window through the 2026 Energize Connecticut program.
At Superior Windowland, we help Connecticut homeowners choose and install replacement windows that improve energy efficiency, comfort, and curb appeal.
The rebate can help reduce the cost of upgrading your home’s windows, but not every window qualifies. Here’s what you need to know about eligible products, installation requirements, deadlines, and the application process.
2026 Rebate at a Glance
- Rebate amount: $100 per qualifying window
- Installation period: January 1 – December 31, 2026

How Much Can You Save on Replacement Windows?
The Energize Connecticut program offers $100 for each qualifying replacement window.
Your potential rebate depends on how many eligible windows you replace:
| Qualifying windows | Potential rebate |
|---|---|
| 5 windows | $500 |
| 10 windows | $1,000 |
| 15 windows | $1,500 |
| 20 windows | $2,000 |
These amounts illustrate the potential rebate before approval. Your actual incentive depends on program eligibility, qualifying products, and the application requirements.
Which Replacement Windows Qualify for the Rebate?
The 2026 incentive is specifically for ENERGY STAR certified triple-pane replacement windows. Standard double-pane windows do not qualify for this particular rebate.
To be eligible, windows must meet the following requirements:
⭐ ENERGY STAR certification: The replacement windows must be certified ENERGY STAR products.
⭐ Triple-pane glass: The windows must have three panes of glass.
⭐ U-factor requirements: The U-factor must be 0.20 or lower when replacing eligible single-pane, single-pane with storm windows, or double-pane windows. Triple-pane windows with grids may qualify with a U-factor of 0.21 or lower.
⭐ Existing homes: The replacement windows must be installed in the primary building envelope of an existing home.
⭐ Professional installation: Self-installed windows are not eligible.
Not all triple-pane windows automatically qualify. Before ordering, verify the product’s certification and performance specifications against the current program requirements.
Who Is Eligible for the Energize Connecticut Window Rebate?
Eligible applicants must be residential customers of Eversource or United Illuminating (UI) in Connecticut. Homes heated with electricity, natural gas, oil, or propane may qualify, subject to the program’s requirements.
Additional conditions include:
- The project must involve qualifying replacement windows in an existing home.
- The windows must be installed during the 2026 incentive period.
- The products must meet the program’s ENERGY STAR and U-factor requirements.
- The installation must be completed by a contractor; self-installation is excluded.
Windows installed as part of new construction do not qualify.
A Home Energy Solutions visit is recommended by the program but is not required for this window rebate. Review the official guidelines to confirm that your home and planned project meet all eligibility requirements.
What Is the Deadline for the 2026 Window Rebate?
Timing matters if you plan to take advantage of this incentive.
December 31, 2026 — Installation deadline
Your qualifying replacement windows must be installed by this date.
February 27, 2027 — Application deadline
Your rebate application must be postmarked by this date. Keep in mind that the deadline refers to the application postmark, not the installation date.
If you are planning a window replacement project, allow enough time to select qualifying products, schedule professional installation, and collect all the necessary documents.
