Replacement Windows in Virginia

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.

Virginia's Home Energy Rebates are administered by Virginia Energy (the State Energy Office), which has roughly $188 million allocated across the HOMES and HEAR tracks but had not launched either program as of mid-2026 — the office was still revising its application to conform to updated U.S. Department of Energy guidance and awaiting federal approval, with no committed launch date. When it does open, windows would qualify only under the whole-home HOMES track, where the rebate scales with modeled energy savings rather than as a standalone window incentive. Confirm current status before relying on this, as the timeline has repeatedly slipped.

• Dominion Energy Virginia efficiency rebates. Dominion's residential programs (branded through domsavings.com and its Home Energy assessments) center on heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, attic insulation upgrades to about R-38, air sealing, and smart thermostats — there is no dedicated window-replacement rebate. Homeowners hoping for utility help with windows in Dominion territory will generally come up empty and should treat windows as a code-and-comfort upgrade, not a rebated one. Confirm current offerings. (Dominion Energy Virginia Save Energy / domsavings.com)

Energy code

The Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code is built on the 2021 IECC and has been the sole enforceable standard since January 2025, making it one of the stronger energy codes in the South; permits in the Richmond and Virginia Beach metros are issued and inspected by each city's local building department. Virginia's IECC 4A–3A climate rewards a low U-factor for winter heating while still keeping an eye on SHGC for the humid summers.
