How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Arlington Saves You Money

By upgrading to energy-efficient windows, you can benefit in several ways, such as:

• Decrease your carbon footprint: In Arlington, you can reduce your indirect greenhouse gas emissions by about 271 pounds per year when you install energy-efficient windows.
• Save money on electricity bills: Because energy-efficient windows reduce the amount of energy used to heat or cool your home, they can help you save around $394 annually on your energy bills in Arlington.
• Protect your valuables: Many Energy Star certified windows have low-emissivity coatings, which filter out damaging UV rays, reducing fading of your furniture, carpet and other valuables.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Arlington

Let’s take a look at the cost of installing new windows and the kinds of services you may need for your home.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

On average, homeowners in Arlington can expect that most window installations will cost between $250 and $1,200, with the most common installations sitting at about $600. This is because of the fact that the cost of window installations depend on a variety of factors specific to your home, like the size, material and number of windows you need to replace, as well as where your property is located.

With windows, efficiency is the most important factor for many homeowners. High efficiency windows may cost more initially, but by increasing the efficiency of your home — especially during the winter — they can give you decades of energy savings. According to Energy Star, purchasing certified energy-efficient windows can save Arlington homeowners $394+ each year after replacing single-pane windows.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

The first thing to ask yourself when planning on installing new windows is: Do you need a full-frame installation or a pocket installation?

A full-frame installation is a total window replacement. It involves removing the old window, the sill, and the exterior and interior trim. It also involves additional materials, such as insulation and drip edges, which increase the overall cost of the project. Also worth noting: you may have to touch up the paint around the window after a full-frame installation. Pocket installations (also known as retrofits) are when you replace a window within its existing frame. Pocket installations are on the simpler end and won’t carry as large a bill, but you can’t do this kind of installment if you have any pre-existing rot or water damage.

Your window installation company will be able to advise you on the best type for your project. In Arlington, the decision will mostly be based on how much damage there is currently and how old your existing frames are.

How We Choose the Best Window Installers in Arlington

EcoWatch reviews differ from most reviews, as we look at these companies through a sustainability lens. Along with energy efficiency, we evaluated each installer and ranked them based on the following methodology:

Service Area

Because this is a guide for Arlington, we only included companies that provide services to the city. There are certainly other reputable providers that didn’t make our list because they wouldn’t be able to serve homeowners in Arlington.

Work Quality

We’re certain that you’re looking for a company to do a great job installing windows. We’ve vetted each company in our guide to ensure its technicians are well-qualified and that the company has gotten tons of positive customer feedback to vouch for its service.

Customer Reviews

Another self-explanatory yet super important review factor is customer feedback. If most customers don’t have nice feedback about their experience with a certain window installation company, it won’t be featured on EcoWatch.

Cost

Cheaper windows certainly don’t mean better windows, but we know many of our readers want to keep costs low when possible. When analyzing providers’ prices, we awarded higher scores to companies with reasonable prices and accessible financing rather than “cheaper” services.

Warranty

As discussed previously, windows are a sizable investment, so you’ll want to make sure that investment is well protected. Window installation companies that have lengthy warranties for products, parts and installation (aka workmanship) rank higher with EcoWatch.

Years of Experience

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