How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in West Springfield Town Saves You Money

There are several perks of switching to energy-efficient windows. A few reasons you may want to consider making the change include the following:

• Decrease your carbon footprint: Decreasing the amount of energy you use also lowers your indirect greenhouse gas emissions. You could reduce it by 139 pounds per year on average.
• Protect your investment: When you have an older home, your windows could also be outdated or leaky. Keeping your windows up to date is an important part of maintaining your property and its real estate value.
• Protect your valuables from fading: When you upgrade to energy-efficient windows with low-emissivity coatings, your floors, carpets and furniture will be protected from fading because of their ability to filter out damaging UV rays.
• Save on energy bills: After you install energy-efficient windows, you can expect a reduction in your bills by about 12% because you’ll require less energy to heat or cool your house.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in West Springfield Town

Windows come in various styles, purposes and shapes, so costs and services will differ remarkably based on your project. Below, we describe the typical cost and services that you can get from window installers.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

The national average cost to install one window is about $600 but can range from $200 to $1,200. How much it will cost varies based on several factors, including number of windows, size, type, material, the location of your home and more.

It’s also worth noting that energy-efficient windows will almost always cost more upfront, but Energy Star predicts that switching out the windows on your West Springfield Town 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 upgrading to energy-efficient windows varies based on your local climate, energy rates and other factors unique to your home.

How much your window installation costs will also vary depending on the kind of material you choose for the frames. Wood windows are generally the most expensive, though it depends on whether they are 100% wood or clad with aluminum or vinyl. Fiberglass windows also tend to be somewhat more expensive than vinyl, but they are more efficient.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

The first question to ask yourself when planning to replace your windows is: Do you want a full-frame installation or a pocket installation?

A full-frame installation replaces the entire window, such as the windowsill, frame, trim and the window panes. Because this kind of installation requires more time and labor, it will cost more than a pocket installation. A pocket installation means replacing a window without taking out the complete frame, which tends to be cheaper than a full-frame installation.

If you’re hiring a reputable window installation company, your company will be able to recommend the best type for your project. In West Springfield Town, the decision will mostly depend on how much damage there is currently and the age of your existing frames.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in West Springfield Town

EcoWatch differs from most reviewers, as we examine these companies through a sustainability lens. Along with energy efficiency, we assessed several window installers in West Springfield Town and assigned rankings using the following methodology:

Service Area

Since this is a guide for West Springfield Town, we only included companies that cover 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 West Springfield Town.

Work Quality

When picking new windows, the quality and range of services can often play just as important of a role in insulation and performance as the brand of window you opt for. 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 determine the companies with the highest rates of customer satisfaction, weighted by sample size. Customer satisfaction might be the factor we place the most value on, as it indicates the quality of services across nearly every category, including professionalism, quality of installation, warranty, cost, quality of parts and more.

Cost

This one is a give-and-take: similar to other services, cheap window companies won’t always provide the most quality service. Still, we want to make sure we’re highlighting companies that offer a wide range of price and financing options so they’re accessible to most homeowners.

Warranty

Protecting your investment in new windows is important. That’s why window installation companies with lengthy warranties for products, parts and installation (aka workmanship) rank higher with EcoWatch.

Years of Experience

Because of West Springfield Town’s climate, homeowners will want to mitigate low efficiency, water damage and rot. We factored in local experience to reflect the ability of West Springfield Town window companies to prepare homes for these issues. If a company has less than 10 years of experience, it loses points in this category.
