How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Palm Beach Gardens Saves You Money

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

• Better temperature control in your home: Residing in a very hot city like Palm Beach Gardens usually means depending on your AC to keep your home cool. Energy-efficient windows can reduce how hard your AC needs to work to cool your home.
• Protect your valuables: The low-emissivity coatings on many Energy Star certified windows help prevent your floors, carpets and furniture from fading by filtering out UV rays.
• Save money on electricity bills: Switching to energy-efficient windows reduces your energy bills by about 12% since you use less energy.
• Protect your investment: When you have an older home, your windows could also be outdated or damaged. Keeping your windows up to date is an important part of maintaining your property and its value.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Palm Beach Gardens

Let's go over the cost of replacing your windows and the kinds of services you may need for your home.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

Even though the national average of installing a single window is around $600, it can range anywhere from $200 to $1,200. These estimates are based on specific characteristics of your installation, including number of windows, the location of your home, type, size, material and more.

Keep in mind that energy-efficient windows may cost more upfront, but Energy Star predicts the upgrade will save you between $101 and $583 a year when replacing single-pane windows and between $27 and $197 a year when replacing double-pane, clear glass windows. These savings vary depending on your local climate, energy rates and individual home characteristics.

Costs will also vary based 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 using wood fibers encased in plastic also provide good insulation and are moderately expensive. Wood frames are the most expensive and are the most in-demand. They're also aesthetically pleasing and provide decent insulation for your home.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

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

Full-frame installations entail replacing the total window, including the frame, trim and sill. You most likely need a full-frame installation when you want to change the style of your windows or your window has significant deterioration. Full-frame installations are more involved and will raise the overall cost. Pocket installations (or retrofits) involve replacing a window within the existing frame, which makes pocket installations take less time and therefore cost less. But, if the frame has any rot or deterioration, you will likely need a full-frame installation instead.

If you're still debating which kind of installation you should get, you can consult with your provider and get their advice. The choice mostly is influenced by how old the frames are and if there's any damage present.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Palm Beach Gardens

In our hunt to make your home improvements easier and more eco-friendly in Palm Beach Gardens, EcoWatch chose the above companies as the top window installation companies in the city. Along with energy efficiency, we analyzed each installer and assigned rankings using the following methodology:

Service Area

Since this is a guide for Palm Beach Gardens, we gave more points to companies that provide services to the city. There are certainly reputable providers that didn't make our list because of the low odds that they would serve the average homeowner in Palm Beach Gardens.

Work Quality

When picking new windows, the quality and breadth of services often plays just as important of a role in overall efficiency and performance as the brand you opt for. We do give window installers more points if they offer high-quality products, but we also factor in workmanship as reflected in customer feedback.

Customer Reviews

Another self-explanatory yet super important review factor is customer feedback. If the majority of customers don't have nice feedback about their experience with a certain installer, you won't see it featured on EcoWatch.

Cost

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

Warranty

Protecting your investment in new windows is important to many homeowners. For that reason, window installation companies with 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 installation companies 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.
