Awning windows in Yakima, Washington

Top-hinged sash that opens outward from the bottom. For Yakima's older housing stock (64.4% of homes predate 1980), awning 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

Awning windows in Yakima typically cost $360–$1,625 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.

Awning windows and Yakima's climate

Yakima sits in the ENERGY STAR Northern zone (IECC zone 5B (cold, dry), Yakima County), where the priority is a low U-factor (≤ 0.22) to keep heat in.

A awning closes against a compression seal — the tightest of any operable window. In the Northern zone's cold winters, where air leakage drives heating loss, that seal is a real advantage.
