Replacement Windows in Ohio

Current incentive status, energy-code requirements, and local market research for Ohio 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.

Ohio accepted IRA funding; program launch status has been rolling — verify with the Ohio Department of Development before promising rebate money.

  • AEP Ohio / Columbia Gas efficiency programs. Ohio utilities offer home energy audits and weatherization incentives; window measures typically qualify within broader efficiency projects. (AEP Ohio, Columbia Gas program pages)

Energy code

Ohio adopts a state residential code based on the IECC; Columbus enforces it through Franklin County/city building departments.
