Before you enter an expensive home endeavor,
it is important to focus on the positives
you will see in the future and how the product will increase value
to your life at home. From construction to price, the investment
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 purchase Pella’s
ENERGY STAR® certified
windows, there are many benefits you could
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 average 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 see what rebates are available in their location through a simple zip code
entry.
- Green energy tax credits*. Energy efficient windows can also give
homeowners a green energy tax credit. If you are in a new or current
home and install energy efficient windows that coincide with
ENERGY STAR requirements, you could be allowed a ten
percent tax
credit up to a maximum of $200. Although the spectrum depends on
what state you live in, there are many tax reductions accessible
for citizens aiding the country’s energy efficiency
movement.
- Remodel for real estate. According to the National Association
of Realtors 2015 cost vs. value report,
replacing your windows with new wood or vinyl windows may
return 71 percent to 78 percent of the project cost during
resale.
- Save your style. Not only is energy efficiency valued among window frames, but
glass choices as well. Glass panes, such as Pella’s
SunDefense™
Low-E Insulating Glass,
could help protect your fabrics and furniture from fading.
