Reducing Your Energy Bill – Stop Throwing Money Out The Window!
How often do you think about what impact your existing windows have on the beauty, value and inside comfort of your home?
With heating costs on the rise, many homeowners may wonder whether it’s time to replace aging, drafty windows with efficient, tight-fitting ones. Replacement windows can help improve the look, add long-lasting value and save you money on energy bills.
Below are four reasons why homeowners might want to replace their existing windows.
1) Energy Efficiency
Some of the biggest drains on the energy efficiency of your home comes from drafts in your windows. Over time, these drafts add up to real dollars on your heating and cooling bills giving you a very good reason to get new windows.
2) Durability
Your home is one of the most valuable investments you will make and replacing the windows will increase the return on your investment. Replacing your home’s windows can be a significant investment, so you’ll want to choose a window that will last a lifetime. Research shows that the best types of windows on the market today are vinyl windows. Compared to wood windows, vinyl windows do not have the expansion and contraction problems that wood windows often have (which will leave gaps for heat to pass through). Also the insulation values are much higher in vinyl windows compared to wood windows.
3) Maintenance
Scraping, painting and caulking are constant chores with older windows. Vinyl windows are virtually maintenance-free, inside and out, so they never need painting or staining.
4) More Aesthetically Pleasing
Curb appeal is important if you're planning on selling your home. Replacing your windows will not only lower maintenance and improve energy efficiency, but will make you home look more appealing as well.
