Windows and doors offer much more than just adding light and air into a home. They offer energy efficiency for heating and cooling, sound reduction (especially in high-traffic areas), enhanced security and a modern aesthetic to any home, regardless of style. If you are considering upgrading your home, consider Liberty Painting & Siding’s Window and Door Installation service for the numerous benefits this process can bring to your home.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Modern windows and doors can significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency. With each new energy-efficient window or door, your home will be much better insulated, meaning air leaks will not work against your heating or cooling systems, depending on the season. ENERGY STAR® certified windows can also reduce energy consumption compared to non-certified products.
The added insulation offered in new windows and doors can not only help reduce your utility bill but also lessen the wear and tear on your HVAC system, thus extending its lifespan and helping homeowners hold off on purchasing a costly new system.
Sound Reduction Characteristics
Noise pollution is everywhere, from the high-traffic city streets to suburban homes on major routes. It’s a challenge to block out all the noise, but with the installation of new windows and doors, your home can drastically reduce the sounds from traffic, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, construction, barking dogs, etc. Triple-pane glass and the added insulation of the frames can help reduce outdoor sounds and make your home even more acoustically comfortable.
Enhanced Safety
Most homeowners don’t give much thought to the safety & security features windows & doors offer. However, if your home has older wooden windows or doors that are painted shut, they make for a challenging egress location in an emergency such as a fire for both entry or exit. Replacing these old windows or doors could potentially help save a life in an emergency.
Boosted Curb Appeal and Aesthetics
New windows and doors can significantly increase the resale value of your home and make it more attractive to buyers as they view your home during open houses and tours.
Upgrading a home’s existing windows and doors typically offers a strong return on investment. The cost savings can be found in energy savings and increased resale value. While the exact ROI can vary, homeowners often recoup a significant portion of their investment, frequently around 70-80%. This strong return is due to factors like improved energy efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and increased curb appeal.
Increase in Overall Home Value
Upgrading to modern windows and doors can signal that your home has been well-maintained and updated, which can appeal to buyers. A home that has recently installed new windows and doors can increase its value with better-looking features, lower HVAC and utility bills with improved insulation, and can help enhance security features for homeowners and their families.
