How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Paris Saves You Money

When you switch to energy-efficient windows, you may see some perks, such as:

• Protect your valuables from fading: The low-emissivity coatings on some energy-efficient windows filter out damaging UV rays, preventing fading of your furniture, carpet and other valuables.
• Protect your investment: The older your home is, the more likely it is that getting new windows will benefit you. Older homes usually have windows that are outdated, leaky or maybe even damaged in some way. Upgrading your windows could help raise the value of your property if you decide to sell.
• Save on energy bills: The Department of Energy estimates that heat gained or lost via windows makes up around 25-30% of energy use in your home. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows can help reduce that amount, which helps you save more on your bills.
• Decrease your carbon footprint: You can reduce your carbon footprint by about 12% when you install Energy Star certified windows. In Paris, that's about 612 pounds per year on average.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Paris

Windows come in various styles, purposes and shapes, so costs and services will vary greatly depending on several factors. Below, we detail the typical cost and services that you'll find from window installers.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

Though the average to replace a single window is about $600, it can range anywhere from $200 to $1,200. These estimates are based on specific characteristics of your installation, such as type, material, number of windows, the location of your home, size and more.

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

How much your window installation costs will also vary based on the kind of material you choose for the frames. Wood windows are typically the most expensive, though it depends if they are solid wood or clad with aluminum or vinyl. Fiberglass windows also tend to be a bit more expensive than vinyl, but they are more efficient.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

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

Full-frame installations entail replacing the total window, including the trim, sill and frame. You most likely need a full-frame installation when you want to change the style of your windows or your window has considerable damage or rot. Because full-frame installations are more involved, they will increase the overall cost. Pocket installations (also known as retrofits) are when you replace a window within its existing frame. Pocket installations are on the simpler end and won't cost as much, but you can't do this type of installment if you have any pre-existing rot or water damage.

Your window installation company should be able to help you choose which type of installation you need.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Paris

In our search to make your home improvements easier and more eco-friendly in Paris, EcoWatch examined dozens of companies before deciding on these. Along with energy efficiency, we reviewed window companies all across the state and assigned rankings based on the following methodology:

Service Area

This one is self-explanatory, but we've chosen to highlight window installation companies that serve Paris so you can find the right window installation company near you.

Work Quality

When installing new windows, the quality and breadth of services often plays just as important of a role in overall efficiency and performance as the brand of window 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

We analyzed patterns in recent online reviews to determine the companies with the most consistent customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction may be the most important factor, as it reflects the quality of services across nearly every category, including quality of parts, cost, quality of installation, warranty, professionalism and more.

Cost

This one is a give-and-take: as with other services, cheap window installation companies won't always provide the most quality service. On the other hand, we want to make sure we're highlighting companies that offer a variety of price and financing options so they're accessible to most homeowners.

Warranty

As discussed, windows are a hefty investment, so you'll want to make sure that investment is protected. Window installation companies that offer lengthy warranties for products, parts and labor 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 experience are going to earn higher rankings by our standards. We like to see at least ten years of experience.
