How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Englewood Cliffs Saves You Money

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

• Save money on energy bills: The Department of Energy estimates that heat gained or lost through windows accounts for around 25-30% of residential energy use. Installing energy-efficient windows can help lower that amount, which helps you save $285 a year on your bills.
• Protect your valuables: Many Energy Star certified windows have low-emissivity coatings, which not only insulate your home better, but also filter out damaging UV rays, preventing your furniture, carpet and other valuables from fading.
• Reduce your carbon footprint: You can reduce your indirect greenhouse gas emissions by about 12% once you install Energy Star certified windows. In Englewood Cliffs, that's about 206 pounds per year on average.
• Protect your investment: When you have an older home, your windows could also be outdated or leaky. Upgrading and repairing your windows is an important part of maintaining your property and its value.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

The first question to ask yourself when considering a window replacement is: Do you want a full-frame installation or a pocket installation?

Full-frame installations involve replacing the whole window — the sill, frame, trim and all. These are typically done when you want a different style for your windows or when it has a great amount of rot or deterioration. Full-frame installations are more involved and will increase overall costs. Pocket installations (or retrofits) entail replacing a window within the 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.

If you're hiring a reputable window installation company, your company will be able to recommend the best type for your project. In Englewood Cliffs, the choice will mostly be influenced by the efficiency of your home and the age of your existing frames.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Englewood Cliffs

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

Service Area

Because this is a guide for Englewood Cliffs, we gave more points to 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 Englewood Cliffs.

Work Quality

We're willing to bet that you're looking for a company to do a great job installing windows. We've vetted each installer featured on this list to ensure its technicians are well-qualified and that the company has gotten lots of positive customer feedback to vouch for its service.

Customer Reviews

Another self-explanatory yet very important review factor is customer feedback. If most customers don't have nice things to say about their service from a certain company, you won't see it featured on EcoWatch.

Cost

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

Warranty

As discussed, windows are a sizable investment, so you'll want to be certain that investment is protected. Window installation companies that provide lengthy warranties for products, parts and installation (aka workmanship) rank higher with EcoWatch.

Years of Experience

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