Overview of The Rénoclimat Program


Grants for Residential Windows and Doors Replacement in Quebec

 

Rénoclimat Program


Managed by the provincial government, the Rénoclimat Program, initiated as of March 31, 2018, empowers homeowners to replace old, inefficient windows and doors with new, energy-efficient alternatives.

Financial assistance offered via Rénoclimat


You are eligible to receive $150 per existing rough opening for Energy Star Certified windows, patio doors and exterior doors.


For example, a bay window composed of a group of three windows will qualify only for one amount of $150, since the windows are installed in the same rough opening. Also note that if you choose to only replace a window pane or frame, or a door without the frame, this does not qualify for financial assistance.



Grants for Residential Windows and Doors Replacement in Quebec


 

What types of windows, patio doors and exterior doors qualify ?


The short answer is : Energy Star Certified products qualify.





ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED WINDOWS AND DOORS


To qualify as Energy Star Certified, windows, sliding glass doors (patio doors) and hinged doors (with or without sidelites or transoms) must meet the following values :


· A U-factor of 1.22 W/m2K (0.21 Btu/h·ft.2·°F) or lower

OR

· An Energy Rating (ER) of 34 or higher



The U-factor measures the amount of heat loss through windows, with a lower rating being more efficient. In contrast, the Energy Rating (ER) rating measures how well windows block out radiant heat from entering your home.

The Crucial Role of Installation : Looking Beyond the Product

The energy efficiency and longevity of your Energy Star windows and doors heavily depend on expert installation. Ensuring you have a team of skilled professionals for the installation process is paramount to ensure that these energy-efficient upgrades perform optimally, providing lasting benefits for your home.  When selecting a company, thoroughly investigate and inquire about the individuals responsible for your installation. Ensuring experienced craftsmen for your installation will safeguard your investment, ensuring that you reap the full advantages of these high-quality, top performing products.

 

Start The Process Early

Initiating the grant application process well in advance is advised, as several steps and waiting periods for specific actions must be completed before undertaking your windows and doors replacement project.


 

How does the application process works?


To qualify for the Rénoclimat program, you must apply for a pre-work energy evaluation of your home before undertaking any work, then complete the renovations and ask for a post-work energy evaluation.
