SNAPSHOT
•	The majority of utility and state incentives and activities focus on windows and
not on doors and skylights.
•	Programs for windows are offered by state and utility partners in 13 states but
are mostly concentrated on the West Coast (Table 1).
•	Most programs offer mail-in rebates or no/low-interest financing to eligible
consumers who purchase and install ENERGY STAR qualified windows. A few
partners offer in-store outreach and retail training to eligible retailers.
•	There are 54 rebate programs. Incentives range from $0.50 to more than $5.00
per square foot. Larger rebates are usually restricted to low-income individuals.
In some cases only replacement windows are eligible.
•	There are 18 loan and financing programs. Many of these programs offer
ultra-low or zero percent interest loans.
