IS REPLACING YOUR HOME’S OLD WINDOWS A GOOD IDEA?
Feb 11, 2014NEW WINDOWS ARE THE SECOND BEST REMODELING INVESTMENT
As the winter rages on the weather seems to get colder and colder, you might be asking yourself this one simple question, “Is replacing my windows a good idea?” Drafty windows can certainly be cause for concern. But window replacements are one of the best investments you can make in your home. Vinyl window replacement earns back 73% of it $14,284 average cost making it the second best remodeling investment a homeowner can make.
As for saving money on heating and utility bills, dramatic upgrades, such as going from a single-pane glass window to a double-pane gas-filled window can cut energy costs by up to $465 dollars per year. Often times, other factors come into play, such as how many windows you have to replace and how long you plan to stay in the home. Sometimes, older windows can be repaired to avoid replacement.
If a licensed window contractor determines that you need new replacement windows (let’s say because you have wood windows that deteriorated beyond repair), you may want to consider replacing your windows with an energy-efficient window brand like Sunrise. Sunrise windows feature a triple weather-strip barrier that provides 50% more protection against winter’s worst weather, plus they feature fusion-welded frames and sashes that last longer and perform better. Sunrise Windows come with a lifetime, non-prorated warranty. Call our office for a free evaluation of your home’s windows.
