How much does storm window install cost in New Brunswick?

Storm window installation in New Brunswick typically runs $150-$400 per window for professional installation, with most homeowners paying around $250-$300 per window including basic aluminum storm windows.

The total cost breaks down into materials and labour. Basic aluminum storm windows cost $75-$200 each, while higher-end models with low-E glass and better weatherstripping run $200-$350 per window. Professional installation adds $75-$150 per window, depending on window size, accessibility, and whether any prep work is needed on the existing window frame.

Factors affecting your final price include the age and condition of your existing windows, the number of windows being done (bulk pricing often applies for whole-house projects), and your home's accessibility. Second-story windows or difficult-to-reach locations can add $25-$50 per window to installation costs. If your window frames need repair or adjustment before storm windows can be properly fitted, expect additional charges of $50-$150 per window.

New Brunswick's harsh winters make storm windows a smart investment, especially for older homes with single-pane windows. Our province sees temperatures regularly hitting -25°C to -35°C, and storm windows can reduce heat loss by 25-50% while cutting heating costs significantly. This is particularly valuable given that many New Brunswick homes still rely on oil heat, where every BTU saved translates to real money.

Installation timing matters in our climate. The best window for installation is September through early November, before the first hard frost but after the summer humidity drops. Most contractors can install storm windows year-round, but winter installations may carry weather delays and slightly higher costs due to working conditions.

For a typical New Brunswick home with 12-15 windows, budget $3,000-$5,500 for complete storm window installation. DIY installation is possible for handy homeowners with basic tools – storm windows are designed for homeowner installation and don't require permits. However, professional installation ensures proper fit, weatherproofing, and often includes minor frame adjustments that improve performance.

NB Power offers rebates through their Total Home Energy Savings Program for qualifying energy efficiency upgrades, though storm windows may not always qualify depending on your home's existing windows and overall efficiency rating.
