What drives the cost
- Frame material and glass package together set most of the price per window.
- Full-frame replacement costs roughly double the labor of an insert.
- Bay and bow windows can each cost as much as five standard windows.
- Energy savings from Low-E glass depend on your climate, so payback varies.
Ways to keep a window project affordable
- Choose insert windows if your frames are sound. Full-frame roughly doubles labor.
- Spend on the sides of the house that take the most sun or wind, and go standard elsewhere.
- Check for utility rebates and tax credits on high-efficiency glass.
- Buy all windows in one order so the price per unit and the install day are shared.
