If you want to keep your home as comfortable as possible, then one thing you will need to consider is your insulation. Good insulation prevents heat energy from leaking in or out, keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer. In older homes, one of the biggest weaknesses in the insulation is the windows, as heat can easily move across a single pane of glass. If you have older windows, we at G&S Contracting, Inc. strongly encourage you to get them replaced with modern, double-pane models. In this article, we will go over a few ways in which window replacement can improve your home.
- Energy Efficiency — As mentioned above, one reason why we encourage you to use our window replacement services is because upgrading to double- or triple-paned windows will increase your home’s energy efficiency. Because our modern windows are designed to prevent heat transfer, they will help maintain your desired indoor temperature so your heating or cooling system doesn’t have to work so hard to keep your home comfortable. This in turn will significantly reduce your energy bills.
- Noise Control — Another way window replacement can improve your home is by reducing noise from the street. Modern double-paned windows help muffle sound, which will keep your home’s interior quieter. Noise pollution has been shown to have a significant impact on things like sleep quality and stress, so reducing the noise levels in your home can benefit your overall wellbeing.
- Home Value — A third way window replacement can improve your home is by increasing its value. Improving your home’s energy efficiency also makes it more attractive to buyers, so if you plan to sell your home in the future, replacement windows are a sound investment.
