Rénoclimat 2026: $300 per Window, up to $6,000

From the Factory Direct Montreal team — more than 35 years measuring, selling and installing windows and doors across Greater Montreal, Laval and the South Shore. RBQ 5735-2130-01.

Updated November 2026. Rénoclimat changed on October 1, 2026. It now pays $300 per window, double the old amount, up to $6,000. Here is what qualifies and how to apply, based on the official criteria on Québec.ca. Program terms can change, so always confirm on the official page.

What Rénoclimat pays for windows in 2026

• $300 per window, counted per rough opening, for ENERGY STAR Most Efficient models only.
• Patio doors (sliding glass doors) count as windows: $300 per opening.
• Maximum: $4,500 per house, $6,000 per duplex, triplex or multi-unit building.
• Entry doors: no longer eligible since October 1, 2026.

1. Get a quote that names eligible models

A regular ENERGY STAR label is no longer enough. Ask your supplier to mark, on the quote, which units are ENERGY STAR Most Efficient. On our quotes this is marked line by line.

2. Replace complete units in existing openings

Full window with frame, into the opening you already have. Replacing only the glass or the sash does not qualify. A bay of several units in one opening counts once.

3. Hire an RBQ-licensed contractor

Since October 1, 2026, an RBQ-licensed contractor must do the work and sign a conformity attestation form. Do-it-yourself installs no longer qualify. Our licence is RBQ 5735-2130-01, and we sign the form with you.

4. Keep every label and invoice

You send them with your application. We hand you the ENERGY STAR labels and the invoices in an envelope at the end of the job.

5. Apply online after the work

Send your application in the new Rénoclimat portal, with the documents, within 12 months after the work ends. The energy evaluation before the work is now optional, and there is no evaluation after the work.

Frequently asked

I started under the old rules. What now? Files under the old rules have until March 31, 2027 to finish, including the evaluation after the work.
Do entry doors still qualify? No. Since October 1, 2026, Rénoclimat no longer pays for exterior doors. Patio doors still qualify as windows.
Can Factory Direct do the paperwork? We mark eligible products on the quote, sign the contractor attestation and hand you the labels and invoices. You send the application in the portal.
