Common Questions

Standard same-size window replacements typically do not require a structural permit in Marion County. However, homes in historic districts like Meridian-Kessler or Lockerbie Square must obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission.

Due to the city's extreme seasonal temperature swings, energy-efficient windows (ENERGY STAR 7.0 rated) can save Indianapolis homeowners between $350 and $650 annually on heating and cooling costs.

For an average Indianapolis home with 8 to 12 windows, professional crews typically complete the installation in 1 to 2 days. Individual units generally take 30 to 60 minutes each to install.

No. The federal 25C energy efficiency tax credit expired on December 31, 2025, and is currently not available for window installations performed in 2026.
