Perhaps your current window system is as old as the house itself. Maybe it is letting in drafts at an alarming rate or has affected the overall look and feel of your home. Whatever your reason for scheduling a new window installation, you will enjoy a variety of benefits no homeowner should do without.

Top 5 Benefits of Scheduling a New Window Installation Now

1. Energy Efficiency

Today’s window systems come with energy-efficient features such as double panes with insulating argon gas. Look for ENERGY STAR®-approved windows to prevent chilly drafts and heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. You will enjoy a more comfortable, efficient home as well as lower monthly energy bills.

2. Increased Home Value & Curb Appeal

Old windows with rotting wood and peeling paint do nothing for curb appeal and home value, especially if you want to put your house on the market. A new window installation improves the exterior of your home to increase buyer interest while also contributing to a higher selling price. Buyers are often willing to pay more for a home with new windows because they will not have to cover installation costs themselves.

3. Security

Unstable windows can lead to shattered glass and serious injuries in addition to increasing your risk of break-ins. Modern, impact-resistant options with features such as double-steel reinforced frames and dual-cam locks help you maintain a secure residence.

4. Noise Reduction

Soundproof features contribute to a quiet, peaceful home. Whether you live on a busy city street or a popular, activity-heavy neighborhood, new window installation creates a barrier between your home and outside noise.

5. UV Ray Protection

Low-emissivity (low-E) coatings and similar features protect your furniture, pictures, and other home decor from harmful UV rays. They prevent fading so you don’t have to keep the curtains drawn during the day or worry about your belongings losing their color too soon.
