If it's time to replace a window or set of windows because of age, damage or for aesthetic reasons, consider new, ENERGY STAR-qualified windows. 

ENERGY STAR-labeled windows feature advanced technologies which reduce undesirable heat gain or loss. While these windows are twice as energy efficient as a standard window, they also can protect your furnishings and other possessions from being damaged by the sun, and allow you to keep those drapes and blinds open to preserve your daylight views.

CPS Energy is offering a rebate of $1.50 per square foot on ENERGY STAR Windows.

• $1.50 per square foot of the area of windows replaced.  (Exclude windows facing north.)
• Rebate only for replacement of old windows. (Retrofits only)
• Windows must be ENERGY STAR® qualified in the San Antonio area, certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council and have a U-factor of 0.40 or less, with a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.40 or less.
• Replacement windows and sashes must be installed in a conditioned space.
• Attach an itemized and dated invoice from the contractor or retailer (include window manufacturer, model and size) along with your application form.
• Rebate will apply to windows facing south, east and west.  (Exclude windows facing north.)
• The final window areas replaced will be determined and documented by the window contractor.  Windows areas of each home will be verified against Bexar County property tax records, or inspected by a CPS Energy inspector.
• Funding for this program is limited to funds availability.
• The measure must be installed in a home served by CPS Energy between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009.
• The completed application form, together with the itemized receipt detailing the work completed, must be received by December 31, 2009 to be eligible. 

CPS Energy reserves the right to make changes to the program without notice.

Rebates are retroactive to January 1, 2009.  For work completed on July 1, 2009, or later, applications must be received within 30 days of completion of projects.

ENERGY STAR windows rebates will be granted only for installations completed by contractors registered with CPS Energy.  Work completed by other contractors or by homeowners are not eligible for a rebate from CPS Energy.

CPS Energy reserves the right to inspect all projects.  The customer may lose the incentive if CPS Energy cannot verify the information provided on the application form.

The maximum rebate per customer is $2,500 total for all rebates, excluding air conditioning, CFL, and Mow Down Smog.
