How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Buenaventura Lakes Saves You Money

Energy-efficient windows can benefit you in several ways. Here are a few reasons you may want to make the switch:

• Save on electricity bills: Once you switch to energy-efficient windows, you can expect a reduction in your bills by about 12% because you'll use less energy to heat or cool your house.
• Reduce your carbon footprint: Because energy-efficient windows improve the insulation in your house, you can cut your carbon footprint by about 12%, according to Energy Star.
• Protect your valuables: Many energy-efficient windows have low-emissivity coatings, which not only provide better insulation for your home, but also filter out damaging UV rays, preventing your furniture, carpet and other valuables from fading.
• Protect your investment: The older your home is, the more likely it is that getting new windows will benefit you. Older homes tend to have windows that are outdated, drafty or maybe even damaged in some way. Updating your windows could help increase the value of your property if you decide to sell.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Buenaventura Lakes

Each window replacement company offers varying services and has different costs based on a few factors.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

Generally, homeowners in Buenaventura Lakes can anticipate that most replacement window installations will range from $250 to $1,200, with the average cost sitting at around $600. How much it will cost varies depending on several factors, like number of windows, type, material, the location of your home, size and more.

It's also worth bearing in mind that energy-efficient windows will almost always cost more upfront, but Energy Star estimates that switching out the windows on your Buenaventura Lakes home translates to an average energy savings of $236 to $319 each year for single-pane window replacement, or between $87 to $126 each year for double-pane windows. How much you'll save by switching to energy-efficient windows varies based on your local climate, energy rates and other factors unique to your home.

Another factor that affects the overall cost is the material you choose for your frame. Aluminum frames are usually the least pricey and are sturdy and light, but they offer poor insulation. On the other hand, wood frames are the most expensive 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?

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

Full-frame installations involve replacing the full window — the sill, frame, trim and all. These are typically done when you want to change the style of your window or when it has a great amount of damage. Full-frame installations are more comprehensive and will increase overall costs. A pocket installation entails installing a new window within the existing frame. So, instead of removing the whole window and reinstalling it, the contractor will just put the replacement window (also called a retrofit or insert window) into the frame.

Your window installer can help you figure out which type of installation you should get.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Buenaventura Lakes

EcoWatch reviews are different from other reviews because we're examining these companies through a sustainability lens. Along with energy efficiency, we evaluated each installer and assigned rankings using the following methodology:

Service Area

This one is self-explanatory, but we've chosen to highlight window installation companies that serve Buenaventura Lakes so you can find a quality window installation company near you.

Work Quality

When it comes to new windows, the quality and range of services can often play just as important of a role in insulation and performance as the type of window you get. We do rate window installers higher if they offer high-quality products, but we also factor in workmanship as reflected in customer feedback.

Customer Reviews

Another self-explanatory yet very important review factor is customer feedback. If the majority of customers don't have good feedback about their service from a certain company, it won't be featured on EcoWatch.

Cost

Cheaper windows certainly don't mean better windows, but we know many of our readers would like to keep costs low when possible. When analyzing providers' prices, we awarded higher scores to companies with reasonable prices and accessible financing rather than "cheaper" services.

Warranty

Protecting your investment in new windows is important to many homeowners. That's why window installation companies that give you lengthy warranties for products, parts and installation (aka workmanship) rank higher with EcoWatch.

Years of Experience

Last but not least, we like to see companies that have been in the industry for quite some time. Window installers that have more years of experience are going to earn higher rankings by our standards. We like to see at least ten years of experience.
