How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Newport Saves You Money

Switching to energy-efficient windows can help improve the comfort of your home and help you save on energy bills. Here's more information on how upgrading your windows could help you:

• 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 you are to benefit from switching to energy-efficient windows. Older homes tend to have windows that are outdated, leaky or potentially even damaged in some way. Updating your windows could help raise the value of your home if you decide to sell.
• Save money on energy bills: Because energy-efficient windows lower the amount of energy used to heat or cool your home, they can help you save about $520 annually on your energy bills in Newport.
• Decrease your carbon footprint: In Newport, you can cut your indirect greenhouse gas emissions by about 152 pounds per year once you switch to energy-efficient windows.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Newport

Windows come in varying shapes, styles and purposes, so costs and services will vary tremendously based on your project. Below, we describe the average cost and services that you can get from window installation companies.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

On average, Newport homeowners can expect their window installations to range from $250 to $1,200. The most common installations sit at around $600. How much it will cost you is based on several factors, like material, size, number of windows, type, the location of your home and more.

With windows, efficiency is one of the most important factors for many homeowners. High efficiency windows may cost more off the bat, but by increasing the efficiency of your home — especially during the winter — they can provide many years of energy savings. According to Energy Star, buying certified energy-efficient windows can save Newport homeowners $520+ per year after replacing single-pane windows.

Something else that affects the total cost is the material you choose for your frame. Aluminum frames are typically the least expensive and are sturdy and relatively maintenance-free, but they offer poor insulation. On the other hand, wood frames cost the most, as they are aesthetically pleasing and offer decent insulation. Fiberglass and vinyl frames provide good insulation and cost somewhere between the other two.

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 is a total window replacement. It involves removing the old window, the sill, and the exterior and interior trim. It can also involve additional materials, like insulation and drip edges, which raise the total cost of the project. It's also worth noting that you may have to touch up the paint surrounding the window after a full-frame installation. Pocket installations (or retrofits) entail installing a new window within its existing frame, which makes pocket installations take less time and therefore cost less. However, if the frame has any rot or deterioration, you will most likely need a full-frame installation instead.

Your window installation company will be able to help you choose what's best for your needs. In Newport, the decision will mostly be based on how old your home is and if there's any moisture damage. Wood can decay if it's not maintained properly over the years, so it's a good idea to have a professional check your frames and window sills.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Newport

EcoWatch is different from other reviewers, as we're examining these companies through a sustainability lens. Along with energy efficiency, we assessed each installer and ranked them based on the following methodology:

Service Area

Since this is a guide for Newport, we only included companies that cover the city. There are other reputable providers that didn't make the list because of the low odds that they would serve the average homeowner in Newport.

Work Quality

We're certain that you're looking for a company to do a great job installing windows. We've vetted each installer featured in our guide to ensure its contractors are well-qualified and that the company has received tons of positive customer feedback to vouch for its service.

Customer Reviews

We analyzed patterns in recent customer feedback to determine the companies with the most consistent customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction may be the factor we place the most value on, as it reflects the quality of services across most other categories, including quality of installation, quality of parts, warranty, cost, professionalism and more.

Cost

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

Warranty

As discussed previously, windows are a significant investment, so you'll want to make sure that investment is well protected. Window installation companies that give you lengthy warranties for products, parts and installation (aka workmanship) rank higher with EcoWatch.

Years of Experience

Lastly, we like to see companies that have a proven track record in the industry. Window installers that have more experience will earn higher rankings by our standards. We like to see at least ten years of experience.
