How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Fort Carson Saves You Money

There are several benefits of upgrading to energy-efficient windows. A few reasons you may want to consider making the switch are the following:

• Protect your valuables: The low-emissivity coatings on many Energy Star certified windows help reduce damage from the sun's UV rays to your floors, carpets and furniture.
• Protect your investment: The older your home is, the more likely you are to benefit from switching to energy-efficient windows. Older homes usually have windows that are outdated, leaky or maybe even damaged in some way. Updating your windows could help raise the value of your property if you decide to sell.
• Reduce your carbon footprint: By using less energy after switching to energy-efficient windows, you'll also be decreasing your indirect greenhouse gas emissions by about 12%, according to Energy Star.
• Save money on energy bills: The Department of Energy estimates that heat gained or lost via windows accounts for about 25-30% of energy use in your home. Switching to energy-efficient windows can help decrease that number, which helps you save more on your bills.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Fort Carson

Let's go over the cost of replacing your windows and the kinds of services offered by installers.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

Even though the national average to install a single window is about $600, it can range anywhere from $200 to $1,200. But costs vary considerably based on the size of your home, complexity of the installation, your location and the quality of the company you choose. Many window companies also offer door replacements, which carry a higher price tag.

With windows, efficiency is one of the most important factors for many homeowners. Efficient windows may cost more upfront, but by increasing the efficiency of your home — particularly during the summer and winter — they can provide many years of energy savings. According to Energy Star, purchasing certified energy-efficient windows can save Fort Carson homeowners $432+ per year after replacing single-pane windows.

Costs will also vary depending on the material of your frame. Aluminum frames are the least expensive. They're sturdy, light and easy to maintain, but provide poor insulation. Vinyl frames are somewhat expensive and provide good insulation. Composite frames made with wood fibers encased in plastic also provide good insulation and are moderately expensive. Wood frames cost the most and are the most in-demand. They're also aesthetically pleasing and provide decent insulation for your home.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

There are generally two kinds of window installation services: full-frame and pocket installations.

Full-frame installations require replacing the entire window — the sill, frame, trim and all. These are typically done when you want a new style for your windows or when it has a great amount of rot or deterioration. Full-frame installations are more comprehensive and will increase overall costs. Pocket installations are simpler and won't cost as much, as they involve simply replacing the window within its existing frame. But if the frame has any damage, you may need a full-frame installation instead.

Your window installer should be able to help you choose which type of installation you should get.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Fort Carson

In our search to make your home improvements easier and more eco-friendly in Fort Carson, EcoWatch landed on the above companies as the top window installation companies in the city. Along with energy efficiency, we reviewed several window installers in Fort Carson and assigned rankings using the following methodology:

Service Area

Because this is a guide for Fort Carson, we only included companies that serve the city. There are other reputable providers that didn't make the cut because of the low odds that they would serve the average homeowner in Fort Carson.

Work Quality

When installing new windows, the quality and breadth of services can often play just as important of a role in overall efficiency and performance as the type of window you get. We do give window installers higher marks if they offer high-quality products, but we also factor in workmanship as reflected in customer feedback.

Customer Reviews

We analyzed patterns in recent customer feedback to determine the companies with the most customer satisfaction, weighted by sample size. Customer satisfaction may be the factor we place the most value on, as it reflects the quality of services across most other categories, including quality of parts, professionalism, cost, quality of installation, warranty and more.

Cost

Cheaper windows don't necessarily mean better windows, but we know many of our readers want to keep costs as low as possible. When analyzing providers' prices, we gave higher points to companies with reasonable prices and accessible financing rather than "cheaper" services.

Warranty

As discussed previously, windows are a considerable investment, so you'll want to be certain that investment is well protected. Window installation companies that give you lengthy warranties for products, parts and installation (aka workmanship) rank higher with EcoWatch.

Years of Experience

Lastly, we like to see companies that have been in the industry for quite some time. Window installers that have more experience are going to earn higher rankings by our standards. We like to see at least ten years of experience.
