Before you invest in an expensive home endeavor,
it is important to focus on the value
you will see in the future and how the product will add 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 highly 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 falling. 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 companies like Pella, energy bills
are dropping 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 homeowners with
an easy-to-use rebate and special offer finder online. This allows browsers to view 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 current
home and install energy efficient windows that work with
ENERGY STAR requirements, you could be given a ten
percent tax
credit up to a maximum of $200. Although the spectrum depends on
what state you reside in, there are many tax reductions possible
for citizens supporting the country’s energy efficiency
operation.
- 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 should
return 71 percent to 78 percent of the project cost upon
resale.
- Save your style. Not only is energy efficiency valued among window frames, but
glass options as well. Glass panes, such as Pella’s
SunDefense™
Low-E Insulating Glass,
can help protect your fabrics and furniture from losing
color.
