Window Treatment Rebate Program
 
 
 
The Window Treatment Rebate Program is available to all Boulder City residential electric customers with existing West facing windows. The following eligibility requirements apply:
  1. To be eligible for a rebate, the window must be West facing.
  2. A completed rebate application form must be submitted within 60 days of the installation date.
  3. A dated contractor invoice, dealer invoice, or proof of purchase will be required as proof of installation date.
  4. Solar screens must have shading co-efficient of not greater than 0.4.
  5. Window film must have shading co-efficient of not greater than 0.45 and reflectivity not greater than 40% (0.4).
  6. Residential purchasers of qualifying window treatments may be subject to an on-site inspection by a Boulder City representative to verify installation and product information.

Why shades or thin films?

They provide a cost effective solution in reducing the amount of heat that penetrates through a glass window and therefore will reduce your cooling load.  This in turn reduces the electric cost of running an air conditioner.  Some good side effects are that they block some of the suns light and darken a room and often reduce glare.  Some window films can reduce harmful UV rays that can fade carpet and furniture.
 
How much is the Rebate?
 
The rebate is $0.50 per square foot.  So, if you have a standard 77" x 80" window facing West, then you would get a rebate for $21.39.
