How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Woodland Park Saves You Money

When you upgrade to energy-efficient windows, you may see a few perks, including:

• Protect your valuables from fading: The low-emissivity coatings on some energy-efficient windows filter out harmful UV rays, preventing your furniture, carpet and other valuables from fading.
• Reduce your carbon footprint: By using less energy once you switch to energy-efficient windows, you'll also be cutting your carbon dioxide emissions by about 12%, according to Energy Star.
• Protect your investment: Upgrading and repairing your windows is an important part of maintaining your property and its value, especially if you have an older home.
• Save on power bills: The Department of Energy estimates that heat gained or lost through windows makes up around 25-30% of energy use in your home. Installing energy-efficient windows can help reduce that number, which helps you save some money on your bills.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Woodland Park

Let's take a look at the cost of updating your windows and the types of services offered by installers.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

On average, Woodland Park homeowners can anticipate their window replacements to range from $250 to $1,200. The average cost is at about $600. But prices differ considerably depending on the size of your home, complexity of the installation, your location and the quality of the company you choose. Many window installers also offer door replacements, which carry a higher price tag.

With windows, efficiency is one of the most important factors for many homeowners. Windows with higher efficiency may cost more off the bat, 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 Woodland Park homeowners $288+ a year after replacing single-pane windows.

Costs will also vary depending on the material you pick for your window frames. Aluminum frames are the least expensive. They're sturdy, light and maintenance-free, but offer poor insulation. Vinyl frames are a bit more expensive and offer good insulation. Composite frames made with wood fibers encased in plastic also offer good insulation and are moderately expensive. Wood frames cost the most and are the most in-demand. They're also aesthetically pleasing and offer decent insulation for your home.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

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

Full-frame installations involve replacing the entire window — the sill, frame, trim and all. These are typically done when you want a new style for your windows or when it has a great amount of damage. Full-frame installations are more comprehensive and will increase overall costs. Pocket installations (or retrofits) involve replacing a window within the existing frame, which makes pocket installations less labor-intensive and costly. However, if the frame has any rot or deterioration, you should opt for a full-frame installation instead.

If you're still trying to decide which kind of installation you should get, you can ask your installer and get their advice. The decision mostly is influenced by the age of your window frames and if there's any damage.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Woodland Park

The EcoWatch Reviews team is different from most reviewers because we examine these companies through a sustainability lens. Along with energy efficiency, we reviewed window companies all across the state and assigned rankings using the following methodology:

Service Area

Because this is a guide for Woodland Park, we paid more attention to companies that cover the city. There are certainly reputable providers that didn't make the list because of the low odds that they would serve the average homeowner in Woodland Park.

Work Quality

When choosing new windows, the quality and range of services can often play just as important of a role in insulation and performance as the brand of window you choose. We do rate window installers higher if they offer high-quality products, but we also consider workmanship as reflected in customer feedback.

Customer Reviews

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

Cost

Cheaper windows certainly don't mean better windows, but we know many of our readers try 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 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 been in the industry for quite some time. Window installers that have more years of experience earn higher rankings by our standards. We like to see at least ten years of experience.
