Replacement Windows in Morgantown, West Virginia
Morgantown sits on the Monongahela in northern West Virginia — WVU student demand, Appalachian hills, freeze-thaw winters, and hilly-lot stock. Of the city's housing units, 65.6% predate 1980 and the median year built is 1966. Monongalia County is ENERGY STAR North-Central / IECC 4A (Appalachian mixed-moist — colder snaps than lowland South, not full Northern 5A mountain): both U-factor and a moderate SHGC matter. Replacement here is university-town four-season glass on hilly openings.
Short answer
In Morgantown, a standard replacement window (double-hung, casement or slider) typically costs $520–$2,970 installed. Bay and bow windows run $2,610–$8,355+, and a sliding patio door $1,565–$5,220. Frame material and the glass package decide where a project lands in that range.

Efficiency requirements for Morgantown's climate
Morgantown sits in the ENERGY STAR North-Central zone (IECC zone 4A (mixed, moist), Monongalia County). Under the v7.0 specification, qualifying windows need a U-factor of 0.25 or lower and an SHGC of 0.4 or lower. Mixed climate: good insulation matters most, with a moderate cap on solar gain so summer cooling costs stay in check.

Rebates & incentives in West Virginia
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.
West Virginia's IRA Home Energy Rebates are administered through the West Virginia Office of Energy (Department of Economic Development). 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 with the WV 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.
- Appalachian Power / Mon Power / Wheeling Power efficiency programs. West Virginia investor-owned utilities run limited residential demand-side and weatherization offerings that typically emphasize HVAC, insulation, and equipment rather than a standalone window replacement rebate. Measure lists and funding change — confirm current offers with your electric utility. Do not count on a simple per-window utility check. (Appalachian Power; FirstEnergy Mon Power / Wheeling Power residential efficiency pages; WV Office of Energy)
West Virginia has historically had limited statewide residential energy-code stringency relative to many states — confirm the edition enforced by your local building official. The Ohio Valley (including Huntington) is IECC climate zone 4A (mixed, moist); ENERGY STAR North-Central targets for replacement windows are a U-factor of 0.25 or lower and an SHGC of 0.40 or lower under Version 7.0.
