Energy Efficiency: The Most Significant Benefit
One of the primary reasons homeowners replace old windows is for improved energy efficiency. Dull, single-pane windows allow warm air to escape in the winter and hot air to enter in the summer, reducing your heating bills and cooling costs.

New, energy-efficient windows can make a significant difference in your home's curb appeal, making it more attractive to buyers and increasing its resale value. Homeowners who have recently replaced their windows with new ones often comment on how much of an improvement they noticed in their home's overall appearance.
