Replacement Windows in New York
Current incentive status, energy-code requirements, and local market research for New York homeowners replacing windows and doors.
Rebates & incentives
The federal window tax credit (25C) ended for projects placed in service after December 31, 2025. If your windows were installed in 2025, you can still claim it on your 2025 return — but for new projects there is no federal window credit. State and utility programs are now the main source of window incentives.
New York runs IRA Home Energy Rebate programs through NYSERDA; whole-home efficiency retrofits can include windows within a modeled-savings project. Confirm current availability first.
- NYSERDA / utility efficiency programs. NYSERDA administers statewide efficiency programs, and utilities such as National Grid fund home weatherization; window replacement generally qualifies as part of whole-home efficiency work. (NYSERDA; National Grid program pages)
Energy code
New York enforces the statewide Energy Conservation Construction Code; Buffalo permits through the Department of Permit & Inspection Services, and cold upstate winters make low U-factor windows essential for permitted replacements.
