Replacement Windows in Hattiesburg, Mississippi
Hattiesburg sits in Mississippi's Pine Belt — University of Southern Mississippi, extreme humidity, inland hurricane exposure (Katrina's inland path), and the February 10, 2013 tornado that damaged large parts of the city. Of the city's housing units, 50.4% predate 1980 and the median year built is 1980. Forrest County is ENERGY STAR Southern / IECC 2A (hot-humid Pine Belt): low SHGC for cooling is the headline. Replacement here is humidity and storm resilience on mixed university and older stock.
Short answer
In Hattiesburg, a standard replacement window (double-hung, casement or slider) typically costs $490–$2,790 installed. Bay and bow windows run $2,455–$7,845+, and a sliding patio door $1,470–$4,900. Frame material and the glass package decide where a project lands in that range.

Efficiency requirements for Hattiesburg's climate
Hattiesburg sits in the ENERGY STAR Southern zone (IECC zone 2A (hot, humid), Forrest County). Under the v7.0 specification, qualifying windows need a U-factor of 0.32 or lower and an SHGC of 0.23 or lower. Cooling-dominated climate: the priority is keeping solar heat out — a low SHGC saves more than an ultra-low U-factor here.

Rebates & incentives in Mississippi
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.
Mississippi's IRA Home Energy Rebates are administered through the Mississippi Development Authority Office of Energy (Energy & Natural Resources). As of mid-2026 consumer-facing HOMES/HEAR pathways were not clearly open for standard single-family window projects — treat status as pending and confirm at mississippi.org / MDA Office of Energy before promising rebate money. Windows would generally fit only inside a whole-home modeled-savings track when programs launch, not as a retail per-window check.
- Entergy Mississippi / Mississippi Power efficiency programs. Investor-owned utilities in Mississippi run residential efficiency programs that typically emphasize HVAC, weatherization, and equipment rather than a standalone window replacement rebate. Availability and measure lists change — confirm current offers with your electric utility. Do not count on a simple per-window utility check. (Entergy Mississippi; Mississippi Power residential efficiency pages; MDA Office of Energy)
Mississippi has historically had limited statewide residential energy-code stringency relative to many states — confirm the edition enforced by your local building official. Most of the state is IECC climate zone 3A (warm, moist); ENERGY STAR South-Central targets for replacement windows are a U-factor of 0.28 or lower and an SHGC of 0.23 or lower under Version 7.0.

Hattiesburg window replacement FAQ

ENERGY STAR Southern and IECC 2A: U-factor 0.32 or lower and SHGC 0.23 or lower. Cooling priority. Read the NFRC label.
›Are there rebates?
Federal 25C expired December 31, 2025. Check Mississippi utility programs and state energy office status.
