Windows fill a home with natural sunlight and provide protection from the elements, yet they are usually not at the top of a homeowner’s list of priorities. Now that winter is coming, it’s an opportune time for window replacement. Here are a few ways this can benefit the home.

3 Reasons to Replace the Windows

1. Reduce Energy Costs

Old and drafty windows let cool air enter the home, which forces the HVAC system to work harder and keep the interior at a comfortable temperature. There are a number of glass materials on the market with coatings designed to prevent solar heat from passing through the windows of the home and raising the interior temperature. This reduces air conditioning costs and prolongs the life span of the unit.

2. Update the Home

Windows affect the aesthetic appearance of the home’s exterior and interior. You can choose from a variety of shapes, styles, and hardware finishes to match your taste and the home’s design. Bay windows allow more natural light to enter the home, while arched windows serve as an eye-catching focal point and open the space in a room.

3. Increase Property Value

Window replacement is an investment that can increase the property’s value. Choosing windows that reflect the architectural style of the home will elevate curb appeal and increase its appraisal value. For example, double-hung windows are a fitting choice for Colonial-style properties, as they create symmetry. Also, potential buyers are drawn to windows with energy-efficient glass and UV protection because it can save them money on their utilities.
