How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Palm Tree Saves You Money

Energy-efficient windows can provide benefits in several ways. Here are a few reasons you may want to take the plunge and make the switch:

• Save on energy bills: Upgrading to energy-efficient windows lowers your energy bills by about 12% because you use less energy.
• Decrease your carbon footprint: Reducing how much energy you use also lowers your indirect greenhouse gas emissions. You could reduce it by 65 pounds per year on average.
• Protect your valuables: Many energy-efficient windows have low-emissivity coatings, which filter out damaging UV rays, reducing fading of your furniture, carpet and other valuables.
• Protect your investment: The older your home is, the more likely it is that getting new windows will benefit you. Older homes usually have windows that are outdated, drafty or potentially even damaged in some way. Updating your windows could help increase the value of your home if you decide to sell.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Palm Tree

When considering window installation, each company offers different services and prices. Let's take a look at some average costs and services.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

The national average cost to replace one window is about $600 but can range anywhere from $200 to $1,200. But costs differ remarkably depending on the size of your home, complexity of the installation, your location and the quality of the company you choose. Many window companies also offer door installations, which will add extra costs to your project.

With windows, efficiency is one of the most important factors for many homeowners. Efficient windows may cost more upfront, but by increasing the efficiency of your home — especially during the summer and winter — they can give you decades of energy savings. According to Energy Star, buying certified energy-efficient windows can save Palm Tree homeowners $343+ each year after replacing single-pane windows.

Something else that influences the overall cost is the material you choose for your frame. Aluminum frames are typically the least expensive and are sturdy and light, but they offer poor insulation. On the other hand, wood frames are the most expensive because they are aesthetically pleasing and offer decent insulation. Fiberglass and vinyl frames provide good insulation as well and cost somewhere between the other two.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

Generally, there are two types of window replacement services you can get: full-frame and pocket installations.

A full-frame installation is a replacement of the total window. It involves removing the old window, the sill, and the exterior and interior trim. It also involves other materials, such as insulation and drip edges, which increase the total 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) involve installing a new window within the existing frame, which makes pocket installations less labor-intensive and costly. However, if the frame has any rot or deterioration, you will likely need a full-frame installation instead.

If you're not sure which kind of window installation service you should get, your installer can help you out. Generally, the decision depends on factors such as the age and condition of the home, the type of building material, budget and time restrictions.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Palm Tree

EcoWatch reviews differ from other reviews because we evaluate these companies through a sustainability lens. Along with energy efficiency, we assessed several window installers in Palm Tree and assigned rankings based on the following methodology:

Service Area

Because this is a guide for Palm Tree, we gave more points to companies that provide services to the city. There are certainly other reputable providers that didn't make the cut because of the low odds that they would serve the average homeowner in Palm Tree.

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 company included on this list to make sure its contractors are well-qualified and that the company has gotten 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 indicates the quality of services across nearly every category, including quality of installation, quality of parts, warranty, professionalism, cost and more.

Cost

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

Warranty

Protecting your investment in new windows is important to many homeowners. For that reason, window installation companies that offer lengthy warranties for products, parts and installation (aka workmanship) rank higher with EcoWatch.

Years of Experience

Due to Palm Tree's climate, homeowners need to be wary of rot, low efficiency and water damage. We factored in local experience to reflect the ability of Palm Tree window companies to prepare homes for these issues. If a company has less than 10 years of experience, it loses points in this category.
