Are you looking for practical way to increase your home’s value? If you are, replacing your windows may be the way to go. When you upgrade your windows, you give your home a makeover, lower your energy costs, and add market value.
Lower Energy Bills
Heating and cooling their homes cost average Americans about $1000 throughout every year. Many of those dollars are wasted through efficient, leaky windows with low insulation values. Updating your windows, be they vinyl or not, can save over 10% to 15% on your energy bills.
In addition, new windows will also often let in more natural light, which means you won’t need to turn on your electric lights as much as you had to with the older windows. That will also lower your electricity usage.
Your Home’s Appearance
If your home was built during or after the 1950s, single-pane windows can be a giveaway that your home isn’t quite as well maintained as it could be.
When you update the windows, you can choose how you would like your home to appear both inside and outside. They can eliminate excessive trim, brighten rooms, streamline the look of the house, or bring it back to its former glory. It’s also possible to increase ventilation, depending on the style of window you choose.
Low Maintenance
Your old windows take a lot of maintenance to keep them from developing drafts. However, with new windows, you won’t need to address this year after year, nor will you need to scrape or paint the frames. Because they will already be very well insulated, you won’t need to do anything when winter comes to keep your heat inside the home.
The most you need to do is the occasional wash. Beyond that, all that’s left is enjoying the view, the extra light, and the lower monthly bills.
