How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Chaparral Saves You Money

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

• Save money on power bills: After you switch to energy-efficient windows, you can see a reduction in your bills by about 12% because you'll require less energy to heat or cool your house.
• Protect your investment: If you have an older home, your windows are most likely outdated. Updating your windows can make your home more comfortable and also help raise the value of your home if you decide to sell.
• Protect your valuables from fading: When you switch to energy-efficient windows with low-emissivity coatings, your floors, carpets and furniture will fade less because of their ability to filter out damaging UV rays.
• Decrease your carbon footprint: You can reduce your carbon footprint by about 12% after you install Energy Star certified windows. In Chaparral, that's about 445 pounds per year on average.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Chaparral

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

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

Typically, homeowners in Chaparral can anticipate that most window installations will cost between $250 and $1,200, with the average cost at about $600. But costs will vary significantly based on the number of windows you need, your location, the quality of your products and the current condition of your home. Many window companies also offer replacement door installations and other add-ons like shutters, baths, coating and more. Additional services will increase overall project costs.

Bear in mind that energy-efficient windows may have a higher price, but Energy Star estimates the upgrade will save you between $101 and $583 per year when installing single-pane windows and between $27 and $197 per year when installing double-pane, clear glass windows. Your exact savings will vary depending on your local climate, energy rates and individual home characteristics.

How much your window installation costs will also vary based on the kind of window material you choose for the frames. Wood windows are typically the most expensive, though 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 more efficient.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

When it comes to window installations, there are generally two kinds that your provider will have: full-frame and pocket installations.

A full-frame installation is a replacement of the full window. It involves removing the old window, the sill, and the exterior and interior trim. It also involves extra materials, including insulation and drip edges, which increase the overall cost of the project. It's also worth noting that it's not uncommon for homeowners to have to touch up the paint around 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. But, if the frame has any damage or rot, you should opt for a full-frame installation instead.

If you're hiring a reputable window installation company, your company can recommend the best type for your project. In Chaparral, the choice will mostly be based on the efficiency of your home and how old your existing frames are.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Chaparral

EcoWatch reviews are different from most reviews because we're examining these companies through a sustainability lens. We've reviewed the top window installers in Chaparral mainly based on their energy efficient offerings, as the most sustainable option also benefits homeowners in many ways. Energy Star certified windows have been shown to lower electricity bills by hundreds of dollars. Along with energy efficiency, our rating methodology is based on the following factors:

Service Area

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

Work Quality

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

Customer Reviews

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

Cost

This one is a give-and-take: similar to most services, cheap window companies are not going to provide the highest quality service. On the other hand, we want to make sure we're highlighting companies that provide a wide range of price and financing options so they're accessible to most homeowners.

Warranty

Protecting your investment in new windows is important. That's why window installation companies that have lengthy warranties for products, parts and labor rank higher with EcoWatch.

Years of Experience

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