California Inflation Reduction Act Rebates
The Federal Inflation Reduction Act which passed in 2022, created two new rebate programs homeowners will be able to take advantage of: the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program and the HOMES (Home Owner Managing Energy Savings) Rebate Program. Both of these programs are scheduled to offer thousands of dollars in rebates for a wide variety of home electrification and energy-saving upgrades.
To qualify for the HOMES rebates, your home improvement project must include modeled energy savings of at least 20%, whereas the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program will only be available to low and moderate-income households.
The Department of Energy (DOE) expected to deliver funding to individual states by the Spring of 2023. Once California receives its funding, the CA Department of Energy will be responsible for managing and distributing funds. The California Inflation Reduction Act Rebates program is scheduled to launch sometime in 2024.

California Window Replacement Program
Over the past few months we’ve been getting a lot of questions from California residents asking whether there is a free government window replacement program or more specifically is there a California Window Replacement Program?
The short answer is there is no program currently available that will pay 100% of the cost of window replacement for your California home. As you can see on this page there are plenty of California rebates available and even some Federal programs geared to offset the total cost of new windows for your home.
We assume many have seen notices about the Low Income Weatherization Program (LIWP) or the Weatherization Assistance Program which were programs designed to improve the energy efficiency of the homes of low income families. These programs are currently not open and are subject to a laundry list of financial requirements that exclude the majority of people looking to replace windows in California.
