If you have old, drafty windows in your home, you are literally throwing money away every single month in higher heating and cooling costs. The money going to high utility costs could be going to new home windows instead, which will pay for themselves over time.

The biggest error of thinking when it comes to home improvements that lower utility costs is that they take too long to recoup the energy savings. How many years it takes to recoup may be an interesting number to know, but the reality is that you will be spending the money anyway, and whether it is a five-year recoup or a twenty-year recoup, your higher utility bills will keep on coming forever if you don’t make your home more energy-efficient. The sooner you replace those old home windows, the more years you will have ahead that you are enjoying the profits of having done so.

Furthermore, everyone knows that inflation causes prices to go up – both for the materials and labor to install the home windows and also the cost of the utilities. Thus, if you install the energy-efficient home windows now, you are enjoying today’s prices on the install and saving tomorrow’s higher prices on utilities. That’s a total win-win for you as a homeowner!

Even if you do not plan to be in your home for the rest of your life, investing in energy-efficient home windows is a good idea because it raises the value of your home. This will enable you to get a higher selling price and will likely make your home more in-demand, which means it could sell weeks or months earlier than it would with old, drafty home windows.
