How Much Can I Save By Replacing My Windows?

March 18, 2021

two worker working on replacing windowsWindows add aesthetic value to your home. More importantly, they allow you to keep outdoor weather away and air from the HVAC inside. Plus, they improve the security of your home. Due to the functional purposes of windows, they naturally affect your monthly energy costs. If your energy costs are increasing without explanation, then it could be due to outdated or damaged windows, and you may be able to save a significant amount annually by replacing them with new windows. OWhy Outdated or Damaged Windows Increase Monthly Costs
Outdated or damaged windows make it harder to control the climate inside your home. This most notably leads to higher energy costs each month. In fact, it is not uncommon for outdated or damaged windows to cause monthly costs to increase by as much as $50 per month. This is particularly true if the windows allow for a draft inside the home.

To determine if your windows are contributing to a rise in your energy costs each month, check the windows for any cracks or openings while they are closed. Also, if they appear fogged, then it likely means that there are tiny holes that are allowing air to get trapped between the window panes. If there are any signs that the windows are worn-down, then you may need to replace the windows.

How Can Window Replacement Save Me Money?

Window replacement saves you money by reducing your monthly energy costs. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) EnergyStar program, it is estimated that new windows can save homeowners up to $465 per year. Some homeowners report even higher annual savings above $600.

close up of someone replacing a windowWhen factoring in the cost of window replacement, many homeowners see a return on their investment within a decade, which means the new window installation essentially pays for itself over time. Of course, savings vary based on the size of the home, the local climate and the cost of the replacing windows and installation.

Additional Benefits Of Window Replacement

For many, the monthly savings you can receive from window replacement is enough to decide on new windows. However, there are other notable benefits that window replacement offers, including improved comfort inside your home, better curbside appeal and an easier time selling your home when the time comes to do so.

Improved Comfort

When there is a draft inside your home that comes through the windows, it affects the comfort inside the home. The HVAC must run for an extended period of time each day as it allows more outdoor air to enter inside your home. In addition, outdated windows are less capable of reducing sunlight exposure. This can cause unwanted light and heat to enter, which makes the overall environment inside your home less comfortable. Excessive sun exposure can also damage your furniture over time as well.

Better Curbside Appeal

Outdated or damaged windows can become a real eyesore, especially if they are on the visible side of your home. One great way to improve the overall aesthetic value and curbside appeal of your home is through new window installation. You can choose the right type of windows to meet your design preferences. There are also many new window options to optimize energy-efficiency inside your home and reduce energy costs substantially.

Easier to Sell Your Home

New windows can also make it easier to sell your home if and when you decide to do so. Many prospective buyers check the windows to determine the quality and how long it is before they need replacement. If windows in your home have seen their best days, then it is likely to be far more challenging to find a buyer. In some cases, the appraised value may even be affected if the windows are damaged or significantly worn-down. This can also cause problems with the home inspection during a sale as well.

When Should I Replace My Home Windows?

worker replacing a window in a old homeYou should replace your home windows when they begin to show signs of aging. This can include cracks, chipped paint, an inability to close or open them effortlessly and fogged glass. Most notably, windows that lead to an increase in energy costs each month should be replaced. As discussed, this can lead to a return on your initial investment by saving money on energy costs monthly, which often add up to more than $400 per year.

We hired Adelphi Exteriors to replace our roof, siding, and gutters for our house and could not be happier with their... great work. They were very professional, thorough and the work was done in a timely manner. They are a family owned business that we found though a friend who has used them multiple times. I would highly recommend them. We are also planing to use them to replace our windows in the future.UPDATE!!! Our windows have now been replaced and I am still just as happy with their service. I have also requested a quote for painting in the future.read more

This company is great! I had quotes by three different companies to replace windows, paint our brick, install new... siding, install new doors, install new gutters/down spouts, plus add new insulation! Adelphia was the only company I contacted for an estimate that would take care of all my needs with one contract. This is a family owned company that has been extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Our initial appointment was with George, who wrote the estimate, the contract, and was our main point of contact; Vickie (mom) runs the office and frequently coordinated with me by phone; and Nick (dad) founded the business in the 1980s and oversaw the painting. The painting is second to none. multiple coats with the highest quality materials looks beautiful! Next came the exterior siding. We wanted to replace our original siding and decided to change it to vinyl shake! You can see the results in the before and after photos. We are thrilled with the results! The replacement doors and windows were installed efficiently and are so beautiful. We selected Adelphia based on their competitive pricing and excellent reviews on Angie's List and Yelp. George worked with us at every step along the way to make sure we were satisfied. The contractors that Adelphia use are careful, professional, punctual, and do excellent work! The original contract included a thank you note by George that said they were determined to exceed our expectations, well, they delivered! I highly recommend Adelphia Exteriors for their value, workmanship, and personal attentiveness.read more

They were wonderful. Prior to signing up with them, we met with multiple other companies who tried to hard sell us into... signing the same day to receive a discount. When George walked into my house I immediately told him we would not be signing on day one, and he laughed and said no problem! He was so agreeable and so easy to work with and the fact that he comes from a family business, I just had a good feeling about them. Not once did he try to hard sell us and pressure us to close, he gave us plenty of time to ask lots of questions and visit a show room in order for us to make our decision. They just finished installing some amazing windows, approximately 25, and a brand new front door. We are absolutely thrilled with the product and the quality of their installation and cleanup. They are a good company to work with! And I would not hesitate to use them again!read more

We hired Adelphia Exteriors for our Exterior Painting Project and we are very happy with the finished product. Rob... provided the estimate within one business day. Viki promptly and kindly helped us to schedule the start date after our project was delayed because of weather. Nick visited the job site to make sure all the exterior colors accurately matched the existing colors. Nick made sure all the areas that required maintenance painting were carefully addressed. He even replaced our house numbers which was a way better option than painting them. He also meticulously worked with Diego to reinstall two shutters that were already partially detached. Diego and his painting team did an amazing job painting all our exterior brick, porch, garage frame and metal light fixtures. They were very detailed in their painting services and professional. Again, we are very pleased with the results.read more

From our initial consultation with Rob until the job was completed, our experience with Adelphia Exteriors was great! ... Rob was very easy to talk to, made sure we understood all our options and answered all our questions. There was absolutely ZERO pressure and no attempt to upsell us on anything. The install of our 19 windows was done in one day, the crew was on time and did a great job. We couldn't be happier with the windows and would recommend Adelphia without hesitation.read more

I contracted Adelphia to paint my living room, dining room and a hallway. The two tradesmen arrived exactly on time on... the first day and prepared the areas. They filled holes, repaired a long crack on the ceiling and two on one of the walls then painted the ceiling. They came back on time the next day to add a second coat of paint on the ceilings and the paint the walls and trim. The painters were courteous, polite and worked hard with just a short lunch break both days. Their clean up was excellent and the job was outstanding. This is the second time and in both instances my wife and I were very pleased. I would not hesitate in recommending them.read more
