How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Fayetteville Saves You Money

When you upgrade to energy-efficient windows, you may see several perks, including:

• Save on energy bills: According to the Department of Energy, heat gained or lost through windows makes up around 25-30% of residential energy use. Switching to energy-efficient models can help reduce that number, therefore saving you about 12% more on your bills.
• Decrease your carbon footprint: Reducing how much energy you use also lowers your carbon emissions. You could reduce it by about 661 pounds.
• Protect your valuables: Many Energy Star certified windows have low-emissivity coatings, which not only provide better insulation for your home, but also filter out harmful UV rays, preventing fading of your furniture, carpet and other valuables.
• Protect your investment: Upgrading your windows is an important part of maintaining your property and its value, especially if your home is on the older side.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Fayetteville

Windows come in varying shapes and sizes, so costs and services will differ tremendously. Here are the typical costs and the primary services that you'll find from window installers.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

The typical cost to replace one window is about $600 but can range anywhere from $200 to $1,200. How much it will cost varies depending on several factors, such as type, number of windows, the location of your home, material, size and more.

With windows, efficiency is one of the most important factors for many homeowners. Windows with higher efficiency may cost more upfront, but by increasing the efficiency of your home — particularly if you live in a hot climate — they can provide decades of energy savings. According to Energy Star, buying certified energy-efficient windows can save Fayetteville homeowners $333+ per year after replacing single-pane windows.

Another factor that affects the total cost is the material of the frame you select. Aluminum frames are typically the least expensive and are sturdy and relatively maintenance-free, but they offer poor insulation. On the other hand, wood frames cost the most because they are aesthetically pleasing and offer decent insulation. Fiberglass and vinyl frames provide good insulation as well and cost somewhere between the other two.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

When it comes to window installations, in general there are two kinds that your installer will offer: full-frame and pocket installations.

A full-frame installation is a total window replacement. It involves removing the old window, the sill, and the exterior and interior trim. It can also involve other materials, like insulation and drip edges, which raise the total cost of the project. Also worth noting: it's not uncommon for homeowners to have to touch up the paint surrounding the window after a full-frame installation. Pocket installations (or retrofits) involve installing a new window within the existing frame, which makes pocket installations less labor-intensive and costly. However, if the frame has any damage or rot, you should opt for a full-frame installation instead.

Your window installation company will be able to advise you on the best type for your project. In Fayetteville, the decision will mostly be influenced by how much damage there is currently and the age and condition of your existing frames.
