Replacement Windows in West Virginia

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

West Virginia's IRA Home Energy Rebates are administered through the West Virginia Office of Energy (Department of Economic Development). As of mid-2026 consumer-facing HOMES/HEAR pathways were not clearly open for standard single-family window projects — treat status as pending and confirm with the WV Office of Energy before promising rebate money. Windows would generally fit only inside a whole-home modeled-savings track when programs launch, not as a retail per-window check.

  • Appalachian Power / Mon Power / Wheeling Power efficiency programs. West Virginia investor-owned utilities run limited residential demand-side and weatherization offerings that typically emphasize HVAC, insulation, and equipment rather than a standalone window replacement rebate. Measure lists and funding change — confirm current offers with your electric utility. Do not count on a simple per-window utility check.

Energy code

West Virginia has historically had limited statewide residential energy-code stringency relative to many states — confirm the edition enforced by your local building official. The Ohio Valley (including Huntington) is IECC climate zone 4A (mixed, moist); ENERGY STAR North-Central targets for replacement windows are a U-factor of 0.25 or lower and an SHGC of 0.40 or lower under Version 7.0.
