Awning windows in Savannah, Georgia
Top-hinged sash that opens outward from the bottom. For Savannah's mixed-age housing stock (59.9% of homes predate 1980), awning window replacement is a common project — and in the ENERGY STAR Southern zone, the number that matters most is a low SHGC (≤ 0.23) to block solar heat.
Short answer
Awning windows in Savannah typically cost $355–$1,620 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.

Rebates & incentives in Georgia
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.
Georgia's Home Energy Rebates (both the Home Efficiency Rebates and HEAR tracks) are live statewide, administered by the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA), with more than $25 million delivered as of spring 2026. Windows fit best under the Home Efficiency Rebates track as part of a whole-home retrofit with modeled energy savings — federal guidance changes taking effect in late 2026 may alter program details, so confirm current rules. See our Savannah guide for the full program list.
