The Amazing Benefit of New Windows

One of the best ways to save a little extra cash each month is by replacing your old windows, especially if you live in an older home and the windows are original to the house. Over time, window seals begin to weaken, frames can start to decay, and the look can be out of style.

Due to this, by replacing your old windows, you are investing in the future of our globe and getting a great return on investment in the form of cut energy heating and cooling bills. More than a decade ago, Energy Star estimated that homeowners were saving a minimum of $27 each month. That’s at least $324 a month! Imagine the savings you can experience now!

Reduced Lighting Costs

Over time, your windows can become dirty beyond the ability to clean. It is not uncommon for the area between your window panes to fog up and even accumulate dirt and other debris. This makes it difficult to near impossible to clean, resulting in the inability for natural light to come into your home. Some windows may even be difficult to clean as a whole due to their location on your home or height off of the ground. A set of brand new windows can help you cut lighting costs throughout your home by providing clean, fog and debris-free glass that allows the sun’s rays to come in and light up your space.

Many new windows, including those sold at Berg Home Improvements, are simple to clean due to their fold-in capabilities. Windows that open inward instead of outward allows for easy cleaning from within your home; no ladders or hassle is needed!
