Casement windows in Florence, South Carolina
Side-hinged sash that cranks outward like a door. For Florence's mixed-age housing stock (48% of homes predate 1980), casement 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
Casement windows in Florence typically cost $485–$2,210 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.

Is a Casement window right for a Florence home?
Crank handle swings the full sash outward; locks compress the seal.
Where it fits:
- Maximum ventilation — the whole opening opens
- Tightest air seal of the common operable styles (compression seal)
- Hard-to-reach placements like over kitchen sinks
What to weigh:
- Projects outward — check clearance to walkways and screens
- Hardware is the wear item; crank quality matters
- Width limits — very wide openings need mulled units
Casement windows and Florence's climate
Florence sits in the ENERGY STAR South-Central zone (IECC zone 3A (warm, moist), Florence County), where the priority is a low SHGC (≤ 0.23) to block solar heat.
A casement 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 South Carolina
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.
South Carolina's IRA Home Energy Rebates are administered by the South Carolina Energy Office (within the Office of Regulatory Staff); the HOMES and HEAR allocations are approved but, as of mid-2026, the consumer-facing programs had not launched, with the Energy Office still finalizing software and contractor enrollment after repeated delays. Windows generally qualify only through the whole-home HOMES modeled-savings track rather than as a standalone item. Confirm current status with the SC Energy Office before promising rebates. See our Florence guide for the full program list.
