Will Replacement Windows Really Save Me Money On My Utility Bill?

According to the Department of Energy, replacing a single-pane windows in your home can save you up to $450 in a year. Even switching out double-pane windows can net a savings of up to $110 per year. Living in a warm climate, the savings can actually go up dramatically. Plus, as an added benefit, replacement windows also block out more noise pollution (up to 75%).

There’s no better home renovation than replacement windows. Your old, inefficient windows are leaking air and are an eyesore from the outside. Opting for new energy efficient replacement windows will pay you back in comfort (avoiding drafts) as well as in your wallet (avoiding heated and cooled air loss). Replacement windows that are an upgrade over your existing models also offer a considerable boost in curb appeal from the exterior.

Folkers specializes in custom-fitted replacement windows, professionally measured and installed. Our top-of-the-line window replacement options will add significant value to your home or office while reducing energy costs.

When Is The Right Time To Buy Replacement Windows?

For the most part, there’s no right or wrong time to buy replacement windows. If you live in a cold climate, you might want to delay the window installation until the weather warms up to avoid sealant issues. However, warmer climates like Alabama and Florida are good almost year-round.

What Are The Benefits Of Replacement Windows

The Hidden Benefits Of Replacement Windows

When it’s time to sell your home, potential buyers are generally willing to pay more if the windows have been replaced with high-efficiency windows. Replacing the windows can lead to you not having to reduce the overall price to accommodate poor and degrading windows. That being said, a replacement window renovation pays you back now in terms of lower utility bills, but also adds even more  to your bottom line in terms of recouping higher marketing value.
