Are Window Replacement Upgrades Worth It?

June 7, 2021
replacement windows in Santa Barbara

As you look into replacement windows in Santa Barbara, CA, you will start to hear that standard windows come with double pane glass and air fillings between those panes. Today, even those standard windows are very good and technologically advanced. They will help your home with efficiency, energy bills, comfort, and many other things. But you will also hear about the fact that there are upgrade options that can help your home even further. The problem with those upgrades? They cost more. Are they really worth it? They often are, but that’s something you have to decide for yourself. Here are a few things they will do for your home and from there, you have to figure out if you can afford them and if they are worth the extra cost.

Upgrades Raise Efficiency

Any time you can raise the efficiency of your home, you should. Getting windows that are more efficient means your home will be more comfortable. You will have lower energy bills as well, which is never a bad thing. You will raise the value of your home that much more, which means you can sell it for a higher price when you sell. Efficiency is a great thing to have on your windows. But not everyone can afford every upgrade on the windows and that’s okay. If you pair your windows with the upgrades that will do the most for your home, that can suit you very well.

Upgrades Lower Energy Bills

When you raise the efficiency of your home through the new windows, you are going to lower the energy bills. That can help you to pay yourself back for the extra you paid into the windows to get the upgrades in the first place. Low energy bills are always better than having high energy bills and when you lower them even further than you were going to in the first place, that’s a benefit of having the upgrades on the windows.

If you just decide to slap all of the upgrades on standard windows, they may not all be worth the extra cost. If your home is in full shade at all times, for example, you don’t really need low-E glass, which blocks the heat of the sun, and that upgrade is a waste of your money. While upgrades are often worth the extra cost, it’s best to match your home with the right upgrades.

When you are in the market for replacement windows in Santa Barbara, CA, upgrades can very well be worth the extra cost, but you want to make sure you get the right upgrades for the home you have. The professionals at Quality Windows & Doors are happy to come to your home, give you a free assessment, and offer advice and suggestions as to which upgrades are the best options for your home. Our advice can help you figure things out, but you always get to do whatever you want for the home and there’s no pressure from us.
