Blocks street noise

Replacing your old windows with new energy-efficient ones can improve the comfort for your customers and employees, enhance the look and feel of your business, and save your business energy and money for years.

For commercial landlords, upgrading to new energy-efficient windows translates to better aesthetics that attract tenants and higher property values.

Incentives

Chelan PUD offers two window incentive levels depending on your type of electric heat.

$32 per sq.ft.

Electric Resistance Heat

$25 per sq.ft
