Entry doors in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Front/side entry door systems — fiberglass, steel, or wood, often with sidelites and transoms. For Myrtle Beach's comparatively newer housing stock (though 27.9% of homes still predate 1980), entry door 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
Entry doors in Myrtle Beach typically cost $1,260–$6,285+ 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 Entry door right for a Myrtle Beach home?
Hinged swing; full replacement includes frame and threshold.
Where it fits:
- Curb appeal and security upgrades
- Fixing air leakage and rot at the sill/frame
What to weigh:
- Slab-only vs full-system replacement is the cost fork
- Sidelites/transoms move the price more than the door slab
Entry doors and Myrtle Beach's climate
Myrtle Beach sits in the ENERGY STAR South-Central zone (IECC zone 3A (warm, moist), Horry County), where the priority is a low SHGC (≤ 0.23) to block solar heat.
On a entry door, air-sealing at the sill and frame is where the energy savings live. Look for a solid compression seal and a well-flashed threshold — plus, in the South-Central zone, low-SHGC glass in any lites.

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 Myrtle Beach guide for the full program list.
