Home » Spring Cleaning: Get New Windows Instead

Each year, part of your spring cleaning routine is to wash your windows inside and out. Chances are you’ve been doing this for years. It’s not a chore you like, but it needs doing. However, if it’s been a while since you’ve replaced your windows, think about getting new ones this spring instead. New windows can provide some nice benefits.

Reduced Energy Costs

High-quality, energy-efficient windows can help to reduce the usage of your furnace and air conditioner. They help to keep the home cooler in the hot months and warmer during the winter because they reduce heat transfer. You will start to see these savings almost immediately on your energy bills. The amount you could save over the years helps to make up for the cost of the window installation. Many homeowners will find that it is a sound investment.

Noise Reduction

Getting new windows that are insulated or that have double or triple panes can help cut down on the amount of noise pollution entering the home. They can reduce the sounds of traffic, mowers, dogs, and more. Those who enjoy peace and quiet will appreciate this.

Increased Home Value

Replacing your windows is a big investment, but it is a worthwhile upgrade. According to a Cost vs. Value report from 2020, having new vinyl windows could return homeowners around 73% of the project cost when they resell. Having newer windows is also something buyers often look for when choosing a property.

New windows will improve the look of your home on the side and outside. You can choose from a range of interior and exterior finishes to get the perfect look for your house. Not only will be happy with how your home looks, but the aesthetics could also be a selling point for buyers.

You Won’t Have to Clean Them This Year

While this is a one-time benefit, having new windows installed will save you some time and energy with your spring cleaning this year. If you have been thinking about replacing your windows, why not do it now?
