The basics
| Item | 2026 program |
|---|---|
| Rebate | $80 per eligible window |
| Limit | 10 windows per PNM residential electric account over the life of the program |
| Purchase dates | January 1 – December 31, 2026, or until funds run out |
| Windows | New, ENERGY STAR certified, meeting the north-central climate zone requirements |

Up to 10 windows at $80 means as much as $800 back.
Who qualifies
PNM residential electric customers. That covers most of Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and many surrounding towns, but not every area — some rural communities get power from a co-op instead. Check your electric bill.
How to apply
- Choose windows that are ENERGY STAR certified for the north-central zone
- Buy and install them in 2026
- Apply through PNM's rebate site, which has options for new and past purchases
- Upload your receipt or invoice showing the window make and model
We list the manufacturer, model and ENERGY STAR details on every invoice so applying is simple. The program is run for PNM at pnm.clearesult.com.
Stack it with the state credit
The same windows may also qualify for the New Mexico Sustainable Building Tax Credit, worth up to $500 per window for most households.

Common questions
Does the PNM rebate cover installation?
No. The rebate can't exceed the window's purchase price, and installation, tax and shipping aren't counted.
Can I get the rebate on more than 10 windows?
No. The limit is 10 windows per residential electric account over the life of the program.
What if the money runs out?
PNM says the program runs through December 31, 2026, or while funds last, and terms can change. Apply soon after your purchase.
