Sometimes, homeowners shy away from window replacement because of the hassle and the high cost. However, keeping your old, drafty or damaged windows can cost you more in the long run. These windows let the indoor air escape, causing your heating and cooling system to work harder and increasing your energy bills.
In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City discusses how window replacement can help you save money.
New Windows Save Energy
You may be able to reduce your energy bills significantly if you select new, high-quality, energy-efficient windows. If your home is older and still has its original windows, chances are they’re leaking a lot of air. Nearly 40% of your energy costs are caused by drafty or leaky windows all around your home. You can expect to significantly lower your energy costs by switching to modern, energy-efficient windows.
New Windows Increase the Value of Your Home
It’s never a bad idea to increase the value of your home, even if you don’t have any plans of selling it. But when you do decide to sell your house, replacing your windows can significantly boost your property value, making it one of the best investments you can make. With brand new energy-efficient windows, you’re more likely to sell your home faster.
Low Maintenance Costs
Repairs are unavoidable with older windows, and the price of repairs may rise over time, depending on the windows’ condition. That said, purchasing new windows can be more cost-effective than frequently paying for repairs.
