Windows rebates FAQs
What is a U-factor?
A U-factor measures how well a product can stabilize the air temperature in a room. A lower U-factor means greater stability and, thus, higher efficiency and greater potential for energy savings. For more information, visit nfrc.org/energy-performance-label.
Are there any income-qualified programs for which I can apply?
Yes! Income-qualified customers may be eligible for increased rebates through Efficiency Boost. The first step to confirm your eligibility, contact an Energy Advisor at 1-800-562-1482, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or use our online form. To learn more about Efficiency Boost rebates, visit pse.com/boost.
How long does rebate processing take?
Rebate processing may take up to four to six weeks. Please watch your email inbox for messages from our rebate processing team in case they need additional information from you. If your application is missing any information, this will delay the rebate processing time.
I have not installed new windows yet. Can PSE provide a contractor referral?
Yes! PSE provides referrals for pre-screened independent Recommended Energy Professionals (REPs). REPs share PSE’s standard of excellence and superior service, and can help you find and apply for rebates or incentives related to your project. Visit pse.com/REP for more information or to request a referral.
I plan to use, or have already used, a contractor who is not in the PSE Trade Ally network. Can I still apply for a rebate?
Yes, but PSE strongly urges all customers to rely on our network of Recommended Energy Professionals when considering new products or equipment. The contractor’s work must meet PSE’s specifications in order for the customer to be eligible for a rebate. Out-of-network contractors are not pre-approved by PSE and are sometimes unaware of PSE’s specifications. Recommended Energy Professionals are insured, knowledgeable, and trained on PSE’s rebate requirements and specifications; depending on product type, they may be able to assist with the rebate application process.
