Window Replacement Cost in Vancouver 2026: Full Guide

How Much Do New Windows Cost in Vancouver?

Window replacement is one of the most impactful exterior renovations — improving energy efficiency, comfort, and curb appeal. In Metro Vancouver, window costs reflect both the premium Pacific Northwest climate requirements and the wide range of product options.

Window Replacement Costs in Vancouver

Window Type Cost Per Window (supply + install) Notes
Standard double-hung $600–$1,200 Most common, easy to clean
Casement window $700–$1,400 Better seal, side-hinged
Sliding window $500–$1,100 Simple, lower cost

Frame Materials Compared

  • Vinyl (uPVC): Most popular in Vancouver — low maintenance, excellent energy performance, competitive price. $600–$1,200/window installed.
  • Fibreglass: Superior durability and insulation, looks like painted wood, more expensive. $1,000–$2,000/window.
  • Wood (painted): Beautiful, paintable, historically accurate for heritage homes. High maintenance. $1,200–$2,500/window.
  • Aluminum: Commercial look, slim sightlines, lower insulation value. $900–$1,800/window.

CleanBC Rebates for Windows

ENERGY STAR certified windows qualify for CleanBC rebates of up to $1,500 for a full home window replacement. To qualify, windows must meet ENERGY STAR specifications for the BC climate zone (Zone 4). All major window brands sold in Vancouver are available in qualifying configurations.
