With the continuous advancements in the home improvement industry, many homeowners see this as a good time to invest in new doors and windows. This is particularly beneficial to homes with windows that are a decade old or more. Chances are, old windows have acquired issues over time that are beyond repair – causing great discomfort to your home.

This is a time when having a window replacement installed can turn out to be the best option for you. Having new windows can make you feel dry and comfortable while enhancing the curb appeal of your home. The superior materials and elite craftsmanship offered by Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco Replacement Windows can transform your home into practically a modern work of art, wherever you may be located: in Oakland, San Francisco, or in the Bay Area.

Long-Term Energy Savings

Windows generally provide our homes with ventilation, light and warmth, but among the many other benefits we now seek as modern-day homeowners is energy-efficiency. Energy.gov recommends replacing old and/or inefficient windows, since they can be pretty costly to maintain.

Getting replacement windows in San Francisco can help you decrease your lighting, heating and cooling costs by helping you more efficiently maintain the existing temperature and illumination in the room. When your windows are properly selected and installed, you’ll notice a significant reduction in your energy bill.

Federal Tax Credits

Another cost-effective benefit of window replacement is eligibility in applying for a federal tax credit. The current Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rule allows homeowners to apply for a tax credit of up to 10% of the cost of energy efficient windows under the renewed Residential Energy Property Credit scheme, via form 5695. To qualify, you must use Energy STAR windows as replacements.

Imagine having newly replaced windows with the added benefit of enjoying their cost-effective features. Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco offer windows framed with our very own revolutionary Fibrex® composite material, which combines the strength of wood and maintenance ease of vinyl.
