A good replacement window or a decent sliding patio door lasts, on average, from 15 to 20 years. This estimated life span depends on a number of different factors. High-quality windows can even extend way beyond the two-decade limit while poorly maintained ones can become unusable in a couple of years. Noting the service life of your replacement windows has become more important since the Non-Business Energy Property Tax Credit expired in 2017. The only way to recoup your expenses, therefore, is from energy-efficiency and maintenance savings over the course of your windows’ expected life.
Now, let our experts at Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City show you just how our replacement window products are perfect for maximizing the returns of your investment.
Energy Efficiency
The United States is one of the leading countries that advocate the use of energy-efficient policies to help protect the environment. The government rewards households that choose ENERGY STAR®-compliant products with tax credits. There are very strict policies surrounding these credits, however and the rules about replacement windows and French doors installation are no exception.
Energy-Related Savings
Renewal by Andersen replacement windows are ENERGY STAR-certified right from the get-go. This means that while the credits for non-business energy property taxes have expired, you can still expect some savings in the form of reduced utility costs. The Department of Energy estimates that choosing ENERGY STAR windows can lower your consumption by up to 10% annually. Over the course of a window’s life span, these savings can easily add up. All things considered, replacing your windows are still a financially sound decision.
