How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in New Carrollton Saves You Money

There are several benefits of upgrading to energy-efficient windows. Some reasons you may want to consider making the change are the following:

• Protect your valuables: Many Energy Star certified windows have low-emissivity coatings, which filter out harmful UV rays, reducing fading of your furniture, carpet and other valuables.
• Reduce your carbon footprint: In New Carrollton, you can reduce your indirect greenhouse gas emissions by about 249 pounds per year after you switch to energy-efficient windows.
• Save money on power bills: Because energy-efficient windows lower the amount of energy needed to heat or cool your home, they can help you save around $283 annually on your energy bills in New Carrollton.
• Protect your investment: When you have an older home, your windows could also be outdated or leaky. Upgrading your windows is an important part of maintaining your property and its value.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in New Carrollton

Windows come in varying styles, purposes and shapes, so costs and services will vary tremendously depending on several factors. Below, we detail the average cost and services that you can get from window installation companies.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

The national average cost to replace a single window is about $600 but can range from $200 to $1,200. But costs differ considerably based on the size of your home, complexity of the installation, your location and the quality of the company you choose. Many window installers also provide door replacements, which will make your project cost more.

With windows, efficiency is one of the most important factors for most homeowners. High efficiency windows may cost more upfront, but by increasing the efficiency of your home — particularly during the summer and winter — they can give you decades of energy savings. According to Energy Star, buying certified energy-efficient windows can save New Carrollton homeowners $283+ each year after replacing single-pane windows.

Costs will also vary depending 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 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?

In general, there are two kinds of window replacement services you can get: full-frame and pocket installations.

Full-frame installations require replacing the entire window — the sill, frame, trim and all. These are most common when you want to change the style of your window or when it has significant rot or deterioration. Full-frame installations involve more time and labor and will increase overall costs. Pocket installations (also known as retrofits) are when you replace a window without replacing the frame. Pocket installations are on the simpler end and won't carry as large a bill, but you can't do this kind of installment if you have any pre-existing rot or water damage.

If you're still debating which type of installation you need, you can talk to your installer and get their recommendation. The choice mostly is influenced by the age of your window frames and if there's any damage present.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in New Carrollton

The EcoWatch Reviews team is different from other reviewers, as we evaluate these companies through a sustainability lens. Along with energy efficiency, we evaluated each installer and ranked them based on the following methodology:

Service Area

This one is self-explanatory, but we've chosen to highlight window installers that serve the New Carrollton area so you can find a quality window installation company near you.

Work Quality

When it comes to new windows, the quality and breadth of services can often play just as important of a role in overall efficiency and performance as the type of window you get. 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 patterns in recent online reviews to determine the companies with the most customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction may be the factor we place the most value on, as it indicates the quality of services across most other categories, including quality of parts, cost, professionalism, warranty, quality of installation and more.

Cost

This one is a give-and-take: similar to most services, cheap window companies are not going to provide the highest quality service. Still, 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 considerable investment, so you'll want to make sure that investment is well protected. Window installation companies that have lengthy warranties for products, parts and labor rank higher with EcoWatch.

Years of Experience

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