How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Yarmouth Saves You Money

When you switch to energy-efficient windows, you may see a few benefits, including:

• Save on energy bills: After you upgrade 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 house.
• Protect your valuables from fading: The low-emissivity coatings on some energy-efficient windows filter out damaging UV rays, preventing your furniture, carpet and other valuables from fading.
• 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 Older homes usually have windows that are outdated, leaky or potentially even damaged in some way. Updating your windows could help raise the value of your property if you decide to sell.
• Reduce your carbon footprint: By using less energy after switching to Energy Star certified windows, you'll also be lowering your indirect greenhouse gas emissions by about 12%, according to Energy Star.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Yarmouth

Windows come in different shapes, styles and purposes, so costs and services will vary remarkably based on several factors. Below, we go over the typical cost and services that you'll find from window replacement companies.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

Though the typical of replacing one window is about $600, it can range from $200 to $1,200. How much it will cost varies depending on several factors, including the location of your home, type, material, number of windows, size and more.

Keep in mind that energy-efficient windows may have a higher price, but Energy Star predicts the upgrade will save you between $101 and $583 a year when you replace single-pane windows and between $27 and $197 a year when you replace 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 easy to maintain, but offer poor insulation. Vinyl frames are a bit more expensive and offer good insulation. Composite frames made from wood fibers encased in plastic also offer good insulation and are moderately expensive. Wood frames cost the most and are the most in-demand. They're also aesthetically pleasing and offer decent insulation for your home.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

There are generally two kinds of window installation services: full-frame and pocket installations.

A full-frame installation replaces the full window, including 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. Pocket installations (or retrofits) entail replacing a window within the existing frame, which makes pocket installations take less time and therefore cost less. But, if the frame has any damage or rot, you should opt for a full-frame installation instead.

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

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Yarmouth

In our search to make your home improvements easier and more eco-friendly in Yarmouth, EcoWatch examined dozens of companies before landing on these. Along with energy efficiency, we evaluated window companies all across the state and ranked them using the following methodology:

Service Area

This one is pretty self-explanatory, but we've chosen to highlight window installers that serve a wide variety of states and cities so you can find a quality window installation company near you.

Work Quality

We're willing to bet that you're not looking for a company to do a shoddy job installing windows. We've vetted each installer included in our guide to ensure its technicians are well-qualified and that the company has received plenty of positive customer feedback to vouch for its service.

Customer Reviews

We analyzed patterns in recent customer feedback to find the companies with the most 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, cost, quality of installation, quality of parts, professionalism and more.

Cost

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

Warranty

Protecting your investment in new windows is important. For that reason, window installation companies that give you lengthy warranties for products, parts and installation (aka workmanship) rank higher with EcoWatch.

Years of Experience

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