SAVINGS OPPORTUNITIES
Energy-Efficient Upgrades May Qualify For Incentives
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that qualifying window and door upgrades may be eligible for rebates, utility incentives, or federal tax credits depending on the products selected and the programs available at the time of installation.
Energy-efficient windows and doors can help improve comfort, reduce drafts, and lower energy loss throughout the year. Because of these benefits, many utility companies and government programs offer incentives designed to encourage energy-saving home improvements. Utility providers throughout Washington State offer rebates for qualifying energy-efficient window upgrades, and federal programs may also provide tax credits for eligible products.
At SRC Windows & Doors, we help homeowners understand available opportunities, identify qualifying products, and navigate the process as clearly as possible. While rebate programs change over time and eligibility requirements vary, our team works to help clients maximize available savings whenever possible.

HELPING YOU SAVE
Utility & Energy Efficiency Programs
Choosing energy-efficient windows isn’t only about making your home more comfortable. Depending on where you live, the windows you’re replacing, your home’s heating source, and the products selected, your project may qualify for valuable utility rebates and incentives.
SRC Windows & Doors participates in utility energy-efficiency programs throughout our service area and can help homeowners better understand the opportunities that may be available for qualifying window and patio door projects.
Rather than navigating the process alone, you’ll be working with a knowledgeable window professional familiar with participating utility programs and their project requirements.
Puget Sound Energy (PSE)
SRC Windows & Doors is a PSE Recommended Energy Professional (REP), helping qualifying Puget Sound Energy customers make informed decisions about energy-efficient window improvements.
PSE’s Recommended Energy Professionals are independent contractors that meet program requirements and receive ongoing information and training related to energy-efficient improvements. PSE states that REPs are licensed, bonded and insured, knowledgeable about current energy codes and high-efficiency products, and continually trained on current technology.
Depending on eligibility and the windows selected, PSE customers may qualify for rebates on energy-efficient replacement windows and patio doors.
Tacoma Public Energy
SRC also participates in Tacoma Power’s energy-efficiency contractor network, helping eligible Tacoma Power customers take advantage of available window and sliding glass door incentives.
Tacoma Power currently offers incentives for qualifying homeowners replacing certain single-pane and double-pane metal-framed windows and glass sliders. Eligibility depends on factors including the home’s heating source, existing windows, utility service, products selected, and program requirements.
For qualifying window rebate projects, Tacoma Power requires installation by a Tacoma Power Participating Contractor.
Working with a participating contractor helps homeowners understand the technical requirements and documentation needed to complete a qualifying project.
QUALIFYING PRODUCTS
ENERGY STAR® & Performance Requirements
Many rebate and tax credit programs require windows and doors to meet specific energy-efficiency standards.

Requirements can vary depending on:
- Utility provider
