Awning windows in Florence, Alabama

Top-hinged sash that opens outward from the bottom. For Florence's older housing stock (63.1% of homes predate 1980), awning window replacement is a common project — and in the ENERGY STAR South-Central zone, the number that matters most is a low SHGC (≤ 0.23) to block solar heat.

Short answer

Awning windows in Florence typically cost $320–$1,440 installed per opening. The low end is a mid-grade vinyl insert from a regional installer; the top is a premium frame, a full-frame installation, or a full-service national brand.

Awning windows and Florence's climate

Florence sits in the ENERGY STAR South-Central zone (IECC zone 3A (warm, moist), Lauderdale County), where the priority is a low SHGC (≤ 0.23) to block solar heat.

A awning closes against a compression seal, the tightest of any operable window — good for holding conditioned air inside through a long South-Central-zone cooling season.

Rebates & incentives in Alabama

The federal window tax credit (25C) ended for projects placed in service after December 31, 2025. If your windows were installed in 2025, you can still claim it on your 2025 return — but for new projects there is no federal window credit. State and utility programs are now the main source of window incentives.

Alabama's IRA Home Energy Rebates are administered by ADECA (Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs), which as of mid-2026 still lists the HOMES and HEAR programs as under development with no confirmed date for when households can access rebates. If and when they open, windows would generally qualify only through the whole-home HOMES modeled-savings pathway rather than as a direct rebate. Confirm current status with ADECA before relying on it. See our Florence guide for the full program list.
