5 Benefits of Replacing Your Windows

by | Feb 2, 2023 | Blog, Burnsville, Windows

Windows have come a long way in improved technology! Long gone are the days of single-pane glass. We have improved many options including multi-pane, sound reduction, and enhanced-energy efficiency within the glass. Several companies are currently working on upgrading even further to include tint-on-demand depending on the sun’s rays outside, gaining solar energy from windows, bird-friendly windows to prevent them from hurting themselves from their reflection, and robotic window cleaners. The options are many when it comes to upgrading windows! 

What are the five benefits for the average homeowner when it comes to replacing windows?

Increased Home Value 

Homeowners can feel accomplished when it comes to home improvement projects with large payoffs. Windows tops that list. Replacing windows can return homeowners 73% of the project cost upon resale, according to Remodeling 2020 Cost vs. Value Report. If you are trying to sell your home, and gain a top dollar, consider new windows. A potential homebuyer may pass on your home if the windows are outdated and not performing at peak. 

Noise Reduction

New or replacement windows can assist with the reduction of excessive noise pollution. Insulating frames and triple-pane glass can help eliminate noise from traffic, lawnmowers, and barking dogs. 

Low Maintenance

The upgraded window material offers low maintenance which is excellent for the homeowner. You can opt for convenient between-the-glass blinds which will reduce the dust particles in your home, for starters. Perhaps you decide on the tilting glass option which will assist with cleaning. The goal is less time working and more time enjoying the windows and the view. 

Energy Efficiency

New windows can seal up any gaps or areas where the air is seeping through. This will assist your heating and cooling system to run less and in turn, decreases your monthly energy bills. ENERGY STAR-certified windows help lower utility costs, protect the environment and enhance the overall comfort of your home.

Safety

Updated features include tempered glass or laminated glass, both of which are less likely to shatter into a thousand pieces if the window gets broken. New windows also offer enhanced security options like locks and sensors that make them harder to open and break into from the outside. New windows don’t tend to warp over time, offering a solid secure escape route if a fire breaks out in your home.
