Here at American Windows & Siding of VA, Inc., we often have customers ask us why they should invest in new replacement windows for their home? With over 13,000 window installations under our belt, we’ve found by experience that there are generally five primary reasons why homeowners decide to change out their old windows for new replacement windows.

Reason #1: Energy Efficiency 

This is the primary reason why homeowners contact us for window replacement. Whether they own older homes, or brand-new houses with contractor grade windows, they call us wanting to reduce their energy bills and eliminate the draftiness.

Today’s energy efficient replacement windows start saving homeowner’s money immediately.  It is not uncommon for a residential window replacement to yield a 25 – 40% savings on the energy bill for the home.  Vinyl windows in particular offer the highest level of energy savings.

Reason #2: Easy-Care Maintenance

One of the first thing homeowners notice after getting their new replacement windows installed is how much easier they are to clean and maintain. Most designs unlatch and open inward to make cleaning both the interior and exterior surfaces a breeze. How nice to have clean windows year-round with minimal time and effort! 

Reason #3: Comfort

Homeowners frequently comment to us how they enjoy an increased comfort-level in their home immediately after their new replacement windows are installed. Quite often, people don’t realize how drafty and/or noisy their home has become until the drafts and noises are eliminated as a result of replacing their old windows. Even reduced glare and UV exposure to furniture and other household belongings are benefits customers often notice right away.

Reason #4: Longevity

Improved technology in building and window materials as well as the advanced design of today’s new replacement windows means they are constructed to last a lifetime with minimal care and maximum performance.

Reason #5: Curb Appeal

With the diversity of styles, features, and designs available with modern replacement windows, it is easy to see why so many homeowners are opting to replacement their old windows with beautiful new replacement windows.  Wood windows in particular can elevate the beauty of your home.  For homeowners looking down the road to eventually selling their home, energy efficient windows can be a strong selling point for your realtor and also increase the home’s overall value.

Clearly new replacement windows are a great investment. Financially, they reduce energy costs and improve the re-sale value of your home. They also improve the quality of life while in the home in many less tangible ways; comfort, beauty, and ease of care, just to name a few.
