Many Alberta homeowners search for window rebates to help reduce the cost of replacing older, inefficient windows. In recent years, several government programs helped homeowners upgrade to energy-efficient windows, but many of those incentives have changed or ended.
While some federal rebate programs are no longer available, there are still financing programs and contractor incentives that can help make window replacement more affordable for Alberta homeowners.
In this guide, we’ll cover:
Currently there are no active federal rebate programs for window replacement in Alberta, as the Canada Greener Homes Grant has closed to new applicants.
However, homeowners still have access to financing options that can make energy-efficient upgrades much more affordable. One of the most notable programs is the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP), which allows eligible homeowners to finance energy-efficient upgrades, including new windows, through their municipal property tax bill.
In addition to financing programs like CEIP, some approved contractors also offer in-house rebates or promotional incentives to help offset the cost of window replacement in Edmonton, and many other municipalities throughout Alberta.
Sunview Windows currently has a window rebate for up to $3,950.00.

One of the most important programs currently available in Alberta is the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP).
CEIP is a municipal financing program that helps homeowners pay for energy-efficient upgrades — including high-performance windows and doors — without having to cover the full cost upfront.
Instead of a traditional loan, CEIP allows homeowners to finance improvements through their property tax bill, making upgrades more manageable over time.
Because the payments are attached to the property tax bill, the remaining balance can sometimes transfer to a new owner if the home is sold.
This structure makes CEIP one of the most flexible financing options for energy upgrades currently available in Alberta.
CEIP covers a wide range of energy-efficiency improvements designed to lower energy use and improve comfort in your home.
Eligible upgrades include:
High-performance windows are one of the most popular upgrades under CEIP because they can dramatically reduce heat loss and lower energy bills in Alberta’s cold climate.
Some municipalities also offer additional incentives for completed CEIP projects, which can reduce the total amount financed. For example, certain communities offer rebates or incentives that lower the final project cost once the upgrade is complete.
These incentives are usually limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so applying early is recommended.
