I don't understand - are you getting the windows and someone else is installing them?
If so, get double-paned replacement windows. Triple are better, but not enough for the cost unless you have a new well insulated house. Usually, there is still heat leakage through the roof, basement and walls, so the further expense is wasted. You can get a UV tint on them which would further help on the heat transfer.
As far as the cost to install, I cannot say. It depends on your situation - how many windows, floors, and the experience of the installer. We just had some windows put in a rental 5-unit apartment building and cost us a bundle. But we got a good company to measure, build, and install them and we're happy with the job they did. Since we're paying for the electricity in that building, we felt it was a good investment.
