It�s not uncommon for homeowners to purchase replacement windows when old ones have deteriorate or ceased to function in their intended manner. However, more and more homeowners are replacing units even sooner in the hopes of seeing big savings in their energy budget. However, there are some questions that every homeowner should ask before and during their shopping process to ensure that they make the best financial decision.
How Much Will It Cost?
It costs somewhere around $10,000 to outfit the �average� home with 7-10 replacement windows. Throw in a few extras or a specialty unit, and prices can soar even farther north. For homeowners who plan on moving in a year or two (or three or four, for that matter), the initial cost would far outweigh any potential savings. However, those planning on staying in their homes for the long haul will most likely be around long enough to realize substantial savings.
How Much Will I Really Save?
Unless your manufacturer is affiliate with Energy Star, you have now way of knowing if�or how much�your new units will save you. Nor will you know if you are choosing the most energy efficient choices for your particular climate. Even if your manufacturer is associated with Energy Star, still take time to crunch energy numbers. Doing so will ensure that you aren�t disappointed once installation is complete�and the first utility bill arrives.
Who Am I Dealing With?
With the wide assortment of window dealers and manufacturers around, finding a trustworthy business is getting harder and harder. Take time to investigate your manufacturer. Are they affiliated with any regulatory agencies? Have they won any industry awards? Do they come highly recommended by others? Taking time to investigate dealers will ensure that your dollars don�t fly out the window.
Exactly What Makes Quality?
The answer to this question can be hard to discern, as many fly-by-night dealers claim that their replacement windows are superior quality. Once again, taking time to investigate can make all the difference. Does the company detail materials used and manufacturing methods? Do they follow any industry guidelines or adhere with any outside regulating agencies? Companies that don�t provide clear product descriptions probably aren�t producing the highest-quality products.
Can They Meet Special Needs?
Even the sweetest deal can turn sour if your dealer can�t produce units that meet your specific measurements and style needs. Be sure to have accurate measurements and styles in mind so as not to buy a product that doesn�t fit?
Is There a Warranty?
A warranty is a sign that your company believes in its products enough to stand behind them. However, be wary of warranties that seem too good to be true, as they may be a cover-up for shady business dealings.
No matter what type of replacement windows you�re looking for, finding a dealer that offers styles and prices to meet your needs is possible. However, taking time to investigate your options will ensure your overall satisfaction.
