The U-Factor gauges how well a window insulates. Lower U-Factor means the window is better at keeping heat inside.
Currently, there are no rebates for skylights.
Only replacement windows qualify for rebates. Creating new openings for windows doesn’t fall under rebate criteria.
CleanBC has a scheme. Complete 3+ eligible home upgrades and earn a rebate between $750 and $2,000. Also, there’s a $300 offer for two upgrades.
For the Home Energy Improvement Bonus, book an EnerGuide home evaluation with a certified energy consultant before starting renovations. This review is vital to qualify.

Descriptions of Terms
A designed initial structure to fit windows and/or doors is called a rough opening.
ENERGY STAR is a widely recognized certification system for gauging and promoting energy efficiency. It was founded by the US Government but now is widespread, including Canada. This certification acts as a valuable framework for finding energy-effective products, structures, and techniques.
The U-Factor is a way to rate a window’s insulation quality. A small U-factor means it has fantastic insulation.
An Energy Rating is a window’s general performance score. It includes stuff like U-factor, sun-produced heat gain, and air escape. A high Energy Rating means the window works well.
