How Installing Energy-Efficient Windows in Sammamish Saves You Money

There are quite a few benefits of upgrading to energy-efficient windows. A few reasons you may want to consider making the switch are the following:

• Reduce your carbon footprint: Decreasing how much energy you use also lowers your indirect greenhouse gas emissions. You could reduce it by 271 pounds per year on average.
• Protect your valuables: Many energy-efficient windows have low-emissivity coatings, which filter out damaging UV rays, preventing fading of your furniture, carpet and other valuables.
• Save money on power bills: The Department of Energy estimates that heat gained or lost via windows makes up about 25-30% of energy use in your home. Installing energy-efficient windows can help decrease that number, which helps you save more on your bills.
• Protect your investment: Upgrading your windows is an important part of maintaining your property and its value, especially if you have an older home.

Estimated Cost of Window Replacement in Sammamish

Let’s go over the cost of installing new windows and the types of services you may need for your home.

How Much Do New Windows Cost?

On average, homeowners in Sammamish can anticipate that most replacement window installations will range from $250 to $1,200, with the most common installations sitting at around $600. These estimates vary depending on specific characteristics of your installation, like material, type, the location of your home, number of windows, size and more.

With windows, efficiency is one of the most important factors for most homeowners. Efficient windows may cost more off the bat, but by increasing the efficiency of your home — especially during the winter — they can give you many years of energy savings. According to Energy Star, purchasing certified energy-efficient windows can save Sammamish homeowners $366+ per year after replacing single-pane windows.

What Services do Window Installers Offer?

In general, there are two types of window installation services companies provide: full-frame and pocket installations.

Full-frame installations involve replacing the total window, including the trim, frame and sill. Full-frame installations are necessary when you want to change the style of your windows or your window has noticeable rot. Because these installations are more involved, they will increase overall costs. Pocket installations (or retrofits) entail installing a new window within the existing frame, which makes pocket installations take less time and therefore cost less. But, if the frame has any rot or deterioration, you should opt for a full-frame installation instead.

If you’re not sure which window installation service you need, your installer should be able to assist you. Generally, the decision depends on factors such as the age and condition of the home, the type of building material, budget and time restrictions.
