How much you get
There's no flat dollar rebate for windows or doors from SCE in Riverside the way a heat pump or water heater rebate works. The real incentive for window replacement in Riverside comes from the IRS, not SCE: the 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit pays back 30% of costs on ENERGY STAR Most Efficient windows, up to $600 a year, plus up to $500 for doors.
The $600 cap for windows is part of a broader $1,200 annual limit that also covers insulation and air sealing — worth knowing if you're planning more than one envelope upgrade this year. Certification matters here — the product has to carry ENERGY STAR's Most Efficient designation, a tier above regular ENERGY STAR-rated windows.

Common questions
Is there a Riverside window rebate?
Not from SCE directly — the incentive that applies is the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C), worth 30% of ENERGY STAR Most Efficient window costs up to $600 a year, plus up to $500 for qualifying doors.
How do I claim the federal window credit in Riverside?
File Form 5695 with your federal tax return for the year the windows or doors were installed. Keep the manufacturer's certification statement showing ENERGY STAR Most Efficient status — your installer or the manufacturer's website should have it.
