How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Wyandotte Saves You Money

Upgrading to energy-efficient windows can help improve the comfort of your home and help you save on energy bills. Here are more details about how switching out your windows could help you:

• Reduce your carbon footprint: Because energy-efficient windows improve the insulation in your home, you can reduce your indirect greenhouse gas emissions by about 12%, according to Energy Star.
• Save money on energy bills: The Department of Energy estimates that heat gained or lost via windows makes up around 25-30% of residential energy use. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows can help lower that number, which helps you save $423 a year on your bills.
• Protect your valuables from fading: The low-emissivity coatings on many energy-efficient windows filter out damaging UV rays, preventing fading of your furniture, carpet and other valuables.
• Protect your investment: When you have an older home, your windows could also be outdated or leaky.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 Wyandotte

Let's go over the cost of installing new windows and the types of services offered by installers.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

Generally, homeowners in Wyandotte can expect that most window installations will range from $250 to $1,200, with the average cost at about $600. These numbers vary based on the specifics of your installation, including number of windows, the location of your home, type, material, size and more.

With windows, efficiency is the most important factor for many homeowners. Efficient windows may cost more initially, but by increasing the efficiency of your home — especially during the summer and winter — they can give you many years of energy savings. According to Energy Star, buying certified energy-efficient windows can save Wyandotte homeowners $423+ each year after replacing single-pane windows.

The cost of your window installation will also vary depending on the kind of window material you choose for the frames. Wood windows are typically the most expensive, but it depends if they are completely wood or clad with aluminum or vinyl. Fiberglass windows also tend to be somewhat more expensive than vinyl, but they are shown to be more efficient.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

When considering window installations, there are generally two kinds that your installer will offer: full-frame and pocket installations.

Full-frame installations involve replacing the full window — the sill, frame, trim and all. These are typically done when you want to change the style of your window or when it has significant damage. Full-frame installations involve 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 damage or rot, you should opt for a full-frame installation instead.

Your window installation company can help you figure out which type of installation you need.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Wyandotte

EcoWatch reviews are different from most reviews, as we evaluate these companies through a sustainability lens. Along with energy efficiency, we analyzed window companies all across the state and assigned rankings based on the following methodology:

Service Area

Since this is a guide for Wyandotte, we only included companies that serve the city. There are certainly reputable providers that didn't make the list because they wouldn't be able to serve homeowners in Wyandotte.

Work Quality

When it comes to new windows, the quality and range of services can often play just as important of a role in overall efficiency and performance as the type of window you opt for. We do rate window installers higher if they offer high-quality products, but we also consider workmanship as reflected in customer feedback.

Customer Reviews

Another self-explanatory yet very important review factor is customer feedback. If the majority of customers don't have positive things to say about their service from a certain company, it won't be featured on EcoWatch.

Cost

Cheaper windows don't necessarily mean better windows, but we know many of our readers would like to keep costs low when possible. When analyzing the prices of providers, we gave higher points to companies with reasonable prices and accessible financing rather than "cheaper" services.

Warranty

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

Years of Experience

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