When you are in the market for new windows, it can be hard to decide what to get. The budget-minded side of you will look at the price tags to help you make decisions. You will quickly notice that Fort Lauderdale impact windows cost more money than regular replacement windows. That might make you want to rule them out, but you really shouldn’t. Not only do these windows protect your home from storms, but they can end up saving you a lot of money as well. Here are a few ways that impact windows create cost-saving opportunities:
Save On Energy Bills
The first big difference you will notice after you have impact windows installed is that you are saving quite a bit of money on your energy bills. You can save on those utilities with many replacement windows, but you’ll save even more with impact windows. Impact windows are highly insulating because of the thick layers they have to have to protect your home from storms. Those layers also protect you from air leaks—even better than regular energy efficient windows.
Save On Repairs
Have you ever had a window broken because of a badly hit golf ball, a rotten baseball toss, an ornery kid with a rock, or any other accident? Did it cost you to get it fixed? Of course it did. And with impact windows, you no longer have to worry about spending money on repairs of that nature. Impact windows don’t break if you throw a brick against them. You certainly don’t have to worry about a little golf ball. And you can save that money for whatever else you’d like to use it on.
Save By Raising Your Home’s Price
Impact windows make a home look fresh and new and they can raise the curb appeal of a house. They also bring their aesthetic to the interior of your house, giving you an appearance upgrade as well. But that’s true of replacement windows in general. Instead of stopping there, impact windows take it a step further. They’re valuable to buyers because they know their property is safe in a storm and secure from intruders. They’re willing to pay more for a house with these windows so you can raise your home’s asking price and expect to get it.
Save On Replacement Items
Windows are meant to let in natural light, but they also let in the heat of the sun. Impact windows, on the other hand, don’t. Impact windows let in the light, but stop the heat and the UV rays. You’ll save hundreds of dollars, if not more, by keeping items like flooring, furniture, and other things that you won’t have to replace because of fading issues.
When you look at Fort Lauderdale impact windows with these things in mind, it makes much more sense to pay the higher costs upfront. After all, you’ll get a lot more savings for years down the road.
