Home energy upgrade
Windows and Doors
Replacing windows and doors with certified models reduces heat loss and draughts — work eligible under the corresponding Rénoclimat measure.
Step by step
How Windows and Doors installation works
-
A Rénoclimat advisor evaluates the home's envelope BEFORE the work, openings included.
-
You have ENERGY STAR certified windows and doors installed by a contractor.
-
A final energy evaluation confirms the improvements made.
-
The Rénoclimat assistance is paid according to the eligible openings replaced.

What to budget
Typical cost
Highly variable depending on the number and type of openings. Rénoclimat reimburses part of the eligible windows and doors.
Costs vary significantly depending on property size, existing systems, and installer. A surveyor's assessment will give you an accurate figure. Available grants (listed below) can substantially reduce the net cost.
