Windows are one of the most functional components of your house. They let fresh air and sunlight inside while helping keep your home energy efficient. However, more homeowners are choosing to upgrade their windows. According to IBIS World, the window installation market was $6.2 billion in 2022. Here are a few of the most popular reasons why people call window contractors.

1. Energy Efficiency

Homes lose significant heating and cooling through leaking or outdated windows. New windows are specially designed to be more environmentally friendly. Triple-pane glass helps keep your home at a comfortable temperature. Window contractors use modern products to seal gaps during installation to increase energy efficiency.

2. Property Value

Home upgrades often offer an excellent return on investment. Homeowners who plan on selling their homes often make upgrades to help increase their property value and help them sell quickly. Updated windows offer an eco-friendly appeal that many potential buyers love. They can retain their value for years, making this a solid investment.

3. Low Maintenance

Outdated wooden windows require frequent maintenance. They have to be painted more often due to cracks and chipping. New windows are created to be white or other colors, eliminating the need for constant touch-ups. You also won’t have to worry about your window squeaking due to outdated components used to open or close the window.

4. Increase Functionality

When window contractors are done upgrading your windows, you’ll love how functional they are. Updated windows don’t require a stick to open them like old wooden ones. They easily slide open and shut. In hot weather, wooden windows are known for sticking because the wood swells. You’ll never have to struggle to open a window again.

5. Air Quality

More people are realizing the importance of indoor air quality. Improved air quality can increase productivity, improve sleep, and make you less likely to suffer from respiratory illnesses. Having functional windows that are easy to operate makes it easy to ventilate your home correctly. You’ll enjoy better air quality and all of the benefits that come with it.
