At Aladdin Insulation and Home Improvements of Atlanta, GA  we’re motivated by the idea of helping our customers to improve their homes for numerous reasons. Some of our buyers come to us because they’ve purchased on old house and they want to update its look and feel; others want to “flip” a home they’ve just bought so they want to make it more efficient and modern for new buyers.Still others want to save money over the years by increasing the efficiencies of the home – this usually comes down to making the home more energy conservative and THAT often entails the purchase and installation of new Preservation replacement windows that look great and do a much better job at keeping warm air in the home in the winter months and cold air in the home in summer months.

Scouring the Internet recently, we discovered all sorts of interesting facts about energy conservation as it relates to replacing older windows with new, modern windows. Below are some of those fascinating facts we felt you, our readers, might like to know.

• According to a National Geographic Article, “if you have single-pane windows, replacing them with Energy Star-qualified products will save you between $126 and $465 a year, depending on the number of windows you replace and where in the United States you live.” We like that statistic, don’t you?
• In an article we found on the HouseLogic website, some great news was declared for home remodelers: “Window replacement is one of the best home remodeling projects in terms of investment return. For vinyl windows, you can recoup 68% of the project cost in added home value, according to Remodeling Magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value Report.”   That’s a nice percentage point for your home, and your wallet or pocketbook.
• A thorough article in the Atlanta Home Improvement Magazine addressed a recent idea going around with remodelers that it’s actually better to repair windows than to replace them. According to the article, “It’s almost impossible to repair a window or door in a way that significantly improves its energy efficiency. Modern, high-performing, energy-efficient windows combine insulating glass, inert gas fills, low-emissivity coatings, high-performance framing materials, tight weather-stripping and other features to achieve their rated performance. These manufacturing improvements would be nearly impossible to incorporate into an existing window.” Now that’s telling it like it is, don’t you think?
