How much you get
There's no flat dollar rebate for windows or doors from SMUD in Folsom the way a heat pump or water heater rebate works. What's actually on the table is the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C): 30% of window costs up to $600 a year, and up to $500 for doors, filed as a tax credit rather than paid out by SMUD.
Keep in mind the $600 window portion shares a $1,200-a-year cap with insulation and air sealing, so timing a large window replacement and an insulation job in the same tax year can eat into both. The credit is specific about certification: it requires the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient tier, not just a standard ENERGY STAR sticker.

Common questions
Is there a Folsom window rebate?
Not from SMUD 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 Folsom?
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.
