It’s a great time to replace those old energy wasting windows. Our Centra professional home energy consultants will discuss any current grant or rebate offers that apply to your home.
Provincial grants are available to help homeowners make their homes more energy-efficient and reduce the burden of high energy costs.
Available Windows, Doors and Skylight Grants:
EcoEnergy Retrofit Homes Program

- Replace your windows, doors or skylights with ENERGY STAR qualified models and receive $40 per rough opening
Update: The program has successfully reached its goal of 250,000 registered homeowners. As planned, the program is no longer accepting new registrations. To help ensure registered homeowners have time to get their post-retrofit evaluations and receive a grant, the Government of Canada is extending the deadline to June 30, 2012, for homeowners to complete post-retrofit evaluations and apply for a grant. All retrofit renovations must still be completed by March 31, 2012

New Government Grant by LiveSmart
Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)
(Centra Windows has reduced pricing by 12%
since July 1st, 2010 to offset the effect of HST
on our valued customers.)
Prior to July 1st, 2010, energy star windows and doors were PST exempt and consumers only paid 5% GST on these products. Moving forward for any products and or services received on or after July 1st, 2010 the HST taxes of 12% will apply, resulting in the consumer paying an additional 7% in taxes. Centra Windows Inc. is required to be charge HST based on a ruling of the Province of British Columbia. HST information and rulings can be found at http://www.gov.bc.ca/hst/.
