How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Hasbrouck Heights Saves You Money

Energy-efficient windows can benefit you in several ways. Here are some reasons you may want to make the switch:

• Protect your valuables from fading: The low-emissivity coatings on many energy-efficient windows filter out harmful UV rays, preventing your furniture, carpet and other valuables from fading.
• Decrease your carbon footprint: You can reduce your indirect greenhouse gas emissions by about 12% when you install Energy Star certified windows. In Hasbrouck Heights, that's about 206 pounds per year on average.
• Better temperature control in your home: Living in a very cold place like Hasbrouck Heights often means needing your heater to keep your house cool. Energy-efficient windows can reduce how much heat is lost through your windows when heating your home.
• Protect your investment: The older your home is, the more likely it is that switching to energy-efficient windows will benefit you. Older homes usually have windows that are outdated, drafty or maybe even damaged in some way. Upgrading your windows could help increase the value of your home if you decide to sell.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Hasbrouck Heights

Windows come in different shapes, styles and purposes, so costs and services will differ tremendously depending on several factors. Below, we describe the typical cost and services that you can get from window installation companies.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

Typically, Hasbrouck Heights homeowners can expect their window replacements to range from $250 to $1,200. The average cost is at approximately $600. But prices 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 companies also provide door replacements, which will add extra costs to your project.

It's also worth keeping in mind that energy-efficient windows will almost always cost more upfront, but Energy Star estimates that switching out the windows on your Hasbrouck Heights home can mean an average energy savings of $236 to $319 each year for single-pane window replacement, or between $87 to $126 each year for double-pane windows. The amount of money you'll save by upgrading to energy-efficient windows depends on your local climate, energy rates and other factors unique to your home.

Getting free quotes from multiple companies is the best way to figure out which one will work best for your budget.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

In regard to window replacements, in general there are two types that your provider will offer: full-frame and pocket installations.

Full-frame installations require replacing the full 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 a great amount of 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 within its existing frame. Pocket installations are simpler and won't cost as much, but you can't do this type of installment if you have any pre-existing rot or water damage.

If you're unsure which type of window installation service you need, your installer should be able to advise you. Typically, the decision is influenced by factors like the age and condition of the home, the type of building material, budget and time restrictions.
