How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in North Miami Beach Saves You Money

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

• Protect your investment: When your home is on the older side, your windows could also be outdated or leaky. Upgrading your windows is an important part of maintaining your property and its value.
• Better temperature control in your home: Living in a chilly place like North Miami Beach can often mean depending on your heater to keep your home cool. Energy-efficient windows can cut back on how much heat is lost through your windows when heating your home.
• More efficient energy usage in your household: In North Miami Beach where the summers can get pretty hot, energy-efficient windows lower the amount of cool air that is lost through your windows, making it easier to keep your house cool.
• Reduce your carbon footprint: You can reduce your indirect greenhouse gas emissions by about 12% after you install Energy Star certified windows. In North Miami Beach, that's about 390 pounds per year on average.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in North Miami Beach

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

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

Typically, North Miami Beach homeowners can expect their window replacements to range from $250 to $1,200. The average cost sits at about $600. But costs will differ considerably depending on the quality of your products, your location, the number of windows you need and the current condition of your home. A lot of window companies also offer replacement door installations and other add-ons like baths, coating, shutters and more. Additional services will increase your overall project costs.

With windows, efficiency is the most important factor for many homeowners. High efficiency windows may cost more initially, but by increasing the efficiency of your home — particularly if you live in a hot climate — they can provide many years of energy savings. According to Energy Star, buying certified energy-efficient windows can save North Miami Beach homeowners $426+ a year after replacing single-pane windows.

Another factor that influences the overall cost is the material of the frame you pick. Aluminum frames are generally the least expensive and are sturdy and light, but they provide poor insulation. On the other hand, wood frames are the most expensive because they are aesthetically pleasing and provide decent insulation. Fiberglass and vinyl frames provide good insulation as well and cost somewhere between the other two.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

The first thing to ask yourself when planning a window installation is: Do you want a full-frame installation or a pocket installation?

A full-frame installation replaces the total window, including the windowsill, frame, trim and the window panes. As this type of installation requires more time, it will be more expensive than a pocket installation. Pocket installations are simpler and won't cost as much because they entail merely replacing the window within its existing frame. But if the frame has any damage or deterioration, you may need a full-frame installation instead.

Your window installer should be able to help you decide which type of installation you need.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in North Miami Beach

In our search to make your home improvements easier and more eco-friendly in North Miami Beach, the EcoWatch team assessed many companies before landing on these. Along with energy efficiency, we reviewed each installer and ranked them based on the following methodology:

Service Area

Since this is a guide for North Miami Beach, we only included companies that cover the city. There are certainly other reputable providers that didn't make the list because they wouldn't be able to serve homeowners in North Miami Beach.

Work Quality

When installing new windows, the quality and range of services often plays 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

We analyzed trends in recent customer feedback to find the companies with the most consistent customer satisfaction, weighted by sample size. Customer satisfaction might be the most important factor, as it reflects the quality of services across most other categories, including warranty, professionalism, quality of parts, quality of installation, cost and more.

Cost

This one is a give-and-take: as with other services, cheap window installers are not going to provide the most quality service. Still, we want to make sure we're highlighting companies that provide a range of price and financing options so they're accessible to most homeowners.

Warranty

As discussed, windows are a considerable investment, so you'll want to make sure that investment is protected. Window installation companies with 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 a proven track record in the industry. Window installation companies that have more years of experience earn higher rankings by our standards. We like to see at least ten years of experience.
