Edmonton Window Rebates & Loans 2026: How to Upgrade for "Free"
Stop Renting Your Energy. Own Your Windows.
How Edmonton homeowners are using government loans and energy savings to pay for their window upgrades.
Is Your Furnace Heating the Neighborhood?
Living in Edmonton means battling -30°C winters. If you have original builder-grade windows or old aluminum sliders, you aren't just losing heat—you are burning money.
The Cost: Inefficient windows can account for up to 25-30% of your home's total heat loss.
The Feeling: Cold drafts, condensation on the glass, and a furnace that never seems to turn off.
The good news? You don't have to pay for the entire upgrade out of your savings account.
The Secret Weapon: 0% Interest Loans
The Federal Government's Canada Greener Homes Loan is a game-changer for Alberta homeowners. It helps you finance major energy retrofits—including window replacements—without the burden of high-interest bank loans.
Up to $40,000: Borrow what you need to cover the cost of materials and installation.
0% Interest: That’s right. Zero. This is essentially "free money" spread over a 10-year repayment term.
10-Year Term: Low monthly payments that are often offset by the money you save on your heating bill.
(Note: Program eligibility can change. We always recommend checking the official government portal for the latest status.)
Not All Windows Qualify. Ours Do.
To get approved for the loan, you can't just install any window. You must install Energy Star® Certified models that meet specific "Energy Rating" (ER) zones for our climate.
At Rally Glass, our "Eco Series" windows are built specifically to meet these strict requirements:
Triple Pane Glass: Three layers of glass provide the insulation necessary to hit the high ER ratings required for the loan.
Low-E Coatings: Our microscopic Low-Emissivity coating reflects heat back into your home, drastically improving the R-Value.
Argon Gas Fills: We fill the space between the panes with inert gas to stop thermal transfer.
Simply put: We guarantee our Eco Series windows meet the criteria for the Greener Homes Loan.
How the Upgrade Pays for Itself.
Think of it as a "Bill Swap." Instead of paying high utility bills to the gas company, you shift that money into paying off your 0% loan. Once the loan is paid, you keep the savings for life.
Old Way: High Heating Bill + Drafty House + $0 Equity.
New Way: Lower Heating Bill + Warm House + Increased Home Value.
Plus, new Triple Pane windows significantly boost your home's resale value, often recovering a large percentage of their cost when you sell.
