You’ve probably heard that remodeling your bathroom or kitchen is a great way to increase your home’s overall value, but what about upgrading to new, energy-efficient windows? Even if you’re not thinking about selling your home any time in the near future, it is always a good idea to add value to your property. Replacing your old, time-worn windows is a great way to achieve just that.
The Value of New Windows
It is no secret that brand-new windows have a high return on investment (ROI). This can be boosted even further by choosing windows that are highly energy-efficient. To get the best value, we recommend doing an upscale upgrade since minor upgrades don’t have as high of a return.
According to a recent Cost vs. Value Report from Remodeling Magazine, an upscale vinyl window replacement has an average return of over 73%. This is actually higher than other popular home upgrades, such as midrange and upscale kitchen remodels and composite deck additions.
Some Added Benefits
Brand-new windows will also reduce your energy usage and lower instances of HVAC equipment failure. This is seen as a huge plus in the real estate industry. According to data from ENERGY STAR®, you can save up to $366 a year by ditching your old windows and upgrading to new ones. This means that whatever you don’t recoup from the project, you’ll eventually make back in energy savings.
