How do you find out if there are rebates for replacing single pane windows from the 1950's?
There may be tax credits available.
Focus on Energy does not have any rewards for installing new windows. However, there may be Federal Tax Credits available. For information about federal rebates or tax credits, I would suggest visiting the Tax Incentives Assistant Project Web site. This Web site has information that consumers and businesses need to make use of the federal income tax incentives for energy efficient products and technologies.
Whatever manufacturer and type of window you choose, make sure it has earned the ENERGY STAR. ENERGY STAR qualified windows help lower energy bills and save you money over single-pane and even new double-paned, clear-glass windows. Estimated savings vary from region to region depending on current heating and cooling costs and are generally greatest where there are hot summers, cold winters or both.
