What is the cost of window replacement in Ottawa?

Window replacement costs in Ottawa typically range from $400 to $1,200 per window installed, depending on the window type, size, and energy efficiency features you choose.

For standard vinyl double-pane windows, expect to pay between $400-$800 per window including installation. These are the most popular choice for Ottawa homeowners due to their good insulation properties and reasonable cost. Premium triple-pane windows with advanced Low-E coatings and argon gas fills run $600-$1,200 per window, but offer superior energy efficiency crucial for Ottawa's cold winters.

Specialty windows cost more - bay windows range from $1,500-$4,000+, bow windows from $2,000-$5,000+, and large picture windows or custom shapes can reach $800-$2,000+ each. The size significantly impacts cost, with standard sizes being most economical and custom sizes adding 20-40% to the price.

For a typical Ottawa home with 12-18 windows, total replacement costs range from $12,000-$20,000. This includes removal of old windows, proper insulation and air sealing, and installation of new windows with trim work. Ottawa's Climate Zone 6 requirements make triple-pane windows a smart investment - they typically pay for themselves through energy savings within 8-12 years.

Take advantage of available rebates to reduce costs. The Canada Greener Homes Grant offers up to $5,000 for ENERGY STAR certified windows, and Enbridge provides additional rebates up to $5,000 for energy-efficient upgrades. These programs can significantly offset the higher cost of premium windows.

Quality installation is crucial in Ottawa's climate to prevent air leaks and moisture issues. Professional installation typically adds $150-$300 per window but ensures proper performance and warranty coverage.
