Are you a homeowner in D.C., Northern Virginia or Maryland? Window replacement using high quality and yet affordable windows can save you money. If you have been wondering if it is worth it to purchase new replacement windows but your not sure they are worth the price then we can help you compute the TRUE cost and not simply the price!
Price VS. Cost: Price is what you pay for the product plus installation and cost is the price plus additional expenditures OR savings over time including maintenance, energy bill increase or decrease, replacing a failed window down the road etc.
We’ll use our high performance energy efficient vinyl windows as an example. In addition to creating a more comfortable home, adding a new fresh look and eliminating maintenance all together, new energy efficient replacement windows can save you money!
Here is how:
Example: Assume you spend $5,000 for new state of the art vinyl replacement windows from us. A properly installed custom fit window will save you an estimated 25-40% on your heating and cooling bills. For a $250/month heating and cooling bill, and a 30% savings the resulting annual savings will be $900 ($250 X 12 months X 30% = $900) Therefore, within the first year almost 20% of the cost of the windows is paid for by the savings in the heating/cooling bills alone!
In addition, if you act now the Federal Government’s stimulus plan allows you to receive a credit for up to $1,500 for the purchase of our custom vinyl replacement window(s)*. This is 30% of the total cost of the windows ($5,000 X 30% = $1,500).
Summary:
You paid $5,000 for our maintenance free replacement windows
Minus the Federal Tax Credit of $1,500
Minus the annual heating/cooling savings of $900
This means that in the first year your $5,000 investment only costs you $2,600. With the ongoing annual $900 heating/cooling bill savings, the cost of the windows will be paid for in just over 2 years! And over a 10 year period, you will actually put $5,500 in your pocket!
Lastly, if you choose to sell your home you can sell for more according to Remodeling Magazine’s (A trade publication produced by Hanley-Wood, LLC) “A cost-value study” that show homeowner’s in our geographic area will recoup approximately 90% of the cost of the new energy efficient replacement windows when it comes time to sell.
