5 Benefits of Replacing Your Windows

What are you doing to improve the value of your home this winter? If your windows are several decades old and drafty, difficult to operate or unattractive, then window replacement could be the perfect home improvement for you this year.

Replacement windows are a fantastic way to improve the value of your house while making your house more comfortable throughout the year and potentially lowering your heating and cooling bills. Below are five great benefits to keep in mind when you’re trying to decide if you want to replace your windows this year.

#1. Windows Can Improve Your Property Value

New windows have an expected ROI of approximately 85%, which means that you could make up to 85% of the cost of the windows if you sell your house shortly after installing them.

If you are planning to sell your home shortly after the new window installation, tell your real estate professional when the windows were installed, so they can record this information in the home listing. Is the warranty transferrable? If so, point that out to your real estate agent as well. This information will benefit the eventual buyer and could help increase your asking price.

#2. Windows Can Improve Your Home’s Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is important! If your home is often too chilly during the winter or too warm during the summer, there’s a good chance that part of your problem might be your old windows. If your old windows are inefficient and drafty, installing new windows can help you can enjoy improved energy efficiency in your home this year and for years to come.

Renewal by Andersen of Long Island sells windows that are made with Low-E glass and energy efficient Fibrex window frame material. Renewal by Andersen windows help prevent energy leaks and can keep your home comfortable throughout the year.

#3. You’ll Love the Way Your New Windows Look

Old windows often suffer from cosmetic damage that can impact the appearance of your home. When you install new windows, you can enjoy an all new look that will last for years!

This is especially true of Renewal by Andersen windows, which have frames made from a composite wood (Fibrex material) that can look just like natural wood. Fibrex material retains the appearance of natural wood for decades, but never needs to be painted or refinished.

#4. New Windows Means Less Maintenance for You

Old windows often need extra maintenance like repainting and refinishing. This takes time, effort and money. Installing new windows will save you the effort and give you back the time you would have spent keeping up with your old windows.

Old windows are also often difficult to operate. As windows age, the mechanisms that help you open and close them can break down, making them difficult to open and close during those beautiful spring and fall days. The result is that you rarely open your windows to let in fresh air that can help refresh your whole house.

#5. New Windows Can Give You Greater Satisfaction as a Homeowner

It’s a new year, and a good time to enjoy new windows. New windows can help deepen your satisfaction as a homeowner and help you feel better about your home in the coming year!
