How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Villa Park Saves You Money

Switching to energy-efficient windows can help improve the comfort of your home and help you save on energy bills. Here are more ways switching out your windows could benefit you:

• 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 Older homes usually have windows that are outdated, drafty or potentially even damaged in some way. Upgrading your windows could help raise the value of your property if you decide to sell.
• Save on electricity bills: Once you switch to energy-efficient windows, you can see a reduction in your bills by about 12% since you'll use less energy to heat or cool your home.
• More efficient energy use in your home: In Villa Park where the winters can be very cold, energy-efficient windows reduce how much heat is lost through your windows, making it easier to keep your home warm.
• Protect your valuables from fading: When you upgrade to energy-efficient windows that have low-emissivity coatings, your floors, carpets and furniture will be protected from fading because of their ability to filter out harmful UV rays.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Villa Park

Windows come in all shapes and sizes, so costs and services will vary remarkably. Here are the typical costs and services that you'll find from window installers.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

Generally, Villa Park homeowners can anticipate their window replacements to range from $250 to $1,200. The average cost is at about $600. How much it will cost is based on several factors, like type, size, the location of your home, number of windows, material and more.

Keep in mind that energy-efficient windows may have a higher price, but Energy Star estimates the upgrade will save you between $101 and $583 a year when installing single-pane windows and between $27 and $197 a year when installing 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 you choose for your window frames. Aluminum frames have the lowest price. They're sturdy, light and maintenance-free, but provide poor insulation. Vinyl frames are a bit more 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?

Generally, there are two types of window replacement services companies provide: full-frame and pocket installations.

Full-frame installations involve replacing the entire window — the sill, frame, trim and all. These are most common when you want a new style for your windows or when it has significant rot or deterioration. Full-frame installations require more time and labor and will increase overall costs. Pocket installations (or retrofits) entail installing a new window within the existing frame, which makes pocket installations less labor-intensive and costly. However, if the frame has any rot or deterioration, you will most likely need a full-frame installation instead.

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