Before you invest in an expensive home endeavor,
it is important to focus on the positives
you will see in the future and how the product will extend value
to your life at home. From construction to price, the cost
of energy efficient replacement windows may be daunting to some homeowners, but
the return on investment is greatly proven throughout the
years after installation. After you invest in Pella’s
ENERGY STAR® certified
windows, there are many benefits you may
start noticing:
- Energy bills are reduced. Once your windows are installed, you may
see your heating and cooling costs go down. By
replacing all single-pane windows in a home with ENERGY STAR certified windows,
the typical home can save an average of $101-$583 per year,
according to ENERGY
STAR.
With support from partners like Pella, energy bills
are decreasing for millions of people due to ENERGY
STAR’s world-renowned mission.
- Rebate rewards*. The
installation of energy efficient windows can also save you monetary value through
rebates and tax credits. ENERGY STAR provides customers with
an easy-to-use rebate and special offer finder online. This allows browsers to look
at what rebates are available in their location through a simple zip code
entry.
- Green energy tax credits*. Energy efficient windows can also allow
homeowners a green energy tax credit. If you are in a new or older
home and install energy efficient windows that go along with
ENERGY STAR requirements, you could be qualified for a ten
percent tax
credit up to a maximum of $200. Although the range depends on
what state you live in, there are many tax reductions accessible
for citizens advocating the country’s energy efficiency
shift.
- Remodel for real estate. According to the National Association
of Realtors 2015 cost vs. value report,
updating your windows with new wood or vinyl windows can
return 71 percent to 78 percent of the project cost after
resale.
- Save your style. Not only is energy efficiency valued among window frames, but
glass possibilities as well. Glass panes, such as Pella’s
SunDefense™
Low-E Insulating Glass,
may help protect your fabrics and furniture from losing
color.
