Double-hung windows in Kennewick, Washington
Two vertically sliding sashes; both the top and bottom sash open. For Kennewick's mixed-age housing stock (50.2% of homes predate 1980), double-hung window replacement is a common project — and in the ENERGY STAR Northern zone, the number that matters most is a low U-factor (≤ 0.22) to keep heat in.
Short answer
Double-hung windows in Kennewick typically cost $700–$3,190 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 Double-hung window right for a Kennewick home?
Both sashes slide vertically and typically tilt inward for cleaning.
Where it fits:
- Traditional and historic home styles
- Rooms facing walkways, porches, or patios (no outward projection)
- Easy cleaning from inside on upper floors
What to weigh:
- More potential air-leakage paths than hinged styles at equal quality
- Half the opening ventilates at any one time
Double-hung windows and Kennewick's climate
Kennewick sits in the ENERGY STAR Northern zone (IECC zone 5B (cold, dry), Benton County), where the priority is a low U-factor (≤ 0.22) to keep heat in.
Double-hung sashes seal against weatherstripping as they slide, so they have more potential air-leakage paths than hinged styles. In the Northern zone, prioritize a well-built unit and a low U-factor (≤ 0.22) to offset that.
