Considering replacing your windows but not sure if the job will benefit your situation, your family and your home? Below are the top four reasons cited by past clients as to why they have decided to make the leap and replace their old windows:

“We want to lower our energy bills.”

Does it seem like every year your energy bill gets higher and higher? Just when you thought you reached a peak in payment last winter, you get another bill that’s even higher. What is going on? The truth is, the Government will continue to raise the price of heating and cooling costs across Minnesota. One way to reduce this increase is to replace your windows. Stronger, thicker windows will stop those unwanted drafts and keep the cold air out and the warm air in (during winter). During the hot summer months, your air conditioner does not have to work overtime to make up for that draft coming from worn-out windows. You may be able to cut the costs of your energy bill by up to 50% simply by replacing your windows. Furthermore, you will be helping the environment in the process by lowering your energy levels and reducing your carbon footprint.

“We are tired of that annoying draft that comes into the room.”

Minnesota winters are tough and there is nothing worse than coming home from work to a freezing cold house. Even with the windows closed and the heater pumping, you may still feel a slight draft in the air. This is often because the windows are not properly sealed due to wear and tear. Replacing your windows allows you to eliminate that draft that keeps you cold. You can actually sit near a window at night, reading a book inside and watching the snow fall and not need to put on a pair of mittens!

“We’re worried about the security of our home.”

No matter what suburb you live in, you want to make sure the contents of your home are protected 24/7. This may include your electronics as well as the more precious bundles – your children. Old windows often lack the sense of security, especially if they are weak, cracked or thin. A burglar may be able to break through a window or even open it without much force and steal the things that are most precious to you. Replacing your windows will add a sense of security to your home.

“We want to increase the value of our home.”

Thinking about putting your house on the market? Realtors predict that 2010 will be a great year on the real estate market but how can you know for sure? One way to up the ante on your home is to do some minor renovations around the house. A paint job here, replacement windows there and you could add thousands of dollars to the resale value. Furthermore, beautiful new windows will take off years to your home and increase the interest among potential buyers.
