Awning windows and York's climate
York sits in the ENERGY STAR North-Central zone (IECC zone 4A (mixed, moist), York County), where the priority is a low U-factor (≤ 0.25) to keep heat in.
A awning closes against a compression seal — the tightest of any operable window. In the North-Central zone's cold winters, where air leakage drives heating loss, that seal is a real advantage.

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.
Pennsylvania has been standing up IRA Home Energy Rebate programs through the state; windows can qualify as part of a modeled whole-home efficiency retrofit. Verify current availability before promising rebate money. See our York guide for the full program list.
