Windows looking a little tired? It might be time to update them. New windows not only improve a house’s look, but also extend its life. The local experts at Renewal by Andersen share the benefits of new windows and why you shouldn’t skip over this type of home renovation.

Here are 5 benefits of updating your windows:

Energy efficiency

In North Carolina, the average monthly residential electricity bill is ~$117. Windows are responsible for 25-30% of residential heat and cooling energy use. Investing in energy-efficient windows + doors can help reduce your energy consumption and your energy costs.

Renewal’s energy-efficient windows are designed to help keep the outside elements at bay so customers can enjoy a comfortable and affordable home temperature. They also offer various glass options with unique benefits for heating, cooling, visible light transfer, and UV reduction — all contributing to energy efficiency.

Curb appeal

Paint, siding, and light fixtures are common updates homeowners make to their home’s exterior. However, swapping out windows and doors can have a similar effect. Renewal’s custom shaping process allows techs to create windows to any shape, meaning they can match any home’s architectural style or define a new look.

#ProTip: Get a feel for what your home could look like by exploring window styles + color options ahead of your Renewal consultation. This will help give the design team a better picture of your vision for a final look.

Noise reduction

Renewal’s high-quality windows are specially designed to block sound from outside — resulting in a quieter and more peaceful living space. Renewal’s design team can customize what windows fit best for every customer’s home, so customers can find peace and quiet if they live close to an airport or highway.

Bug blocker

Unfortunately, old windows and creaky doors can allow pesky insects to find their way into your house. Along with fixing cracks in the foundation, replacing windows or doors can keep bugs out of your home. Sealing up any gaps accessible to insects gives them less of a chance of getting into your home and creating even more damage.

Increase resale value

The immediate effect of making an investment in swapping out windows is improving a home's curb appeal, but it also can have a long-lasting impact on the value of your home. Spending a little money now will pay off when a homeowner goes to sell their home.
