How much you get
There's no flat dollar rebate for windows or doors from SCE in San Bernardino the way a heat pump or water heater rebate works. The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) covers 30% of the cost of ENERGY STAR Most Efficient windows, up to $600 a year, plus up to $500 for qualifying exterior doors — claimed on your federal tax return, not through SCE.
That $600 sits inside a combined $1,200 annual cap for the building-envelope category — insulation and air sealing draw from the same limit, so a big window job and an insulation upgrade in the same year can bump into it. Only windows and doors that carry the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient label qualify — standard ENERGY STAR double-pane units don't clear the bar for the federal credit.
