What Strafford County Homeowners Should Know About Energy Efficient Window Savings
- Triple-pane upgrade savings: Upgrading from double- to triple-pane windows can improve energy efficiency performance by 40% or more. Triple-pane units carry a U-value of 0.20–0.30 vs. 0.30–0.45 for double-pane windows.
- Draft rating standard: The most energy-efficient windows are ENERGY STAR certified with a 0.1 CFM draft rating.
- Under-insulation problem: Nine out of 10 homes in the U.S. are under-insulated. Windows account for a significant portion of that heat loss — especially older single-pane or builder-grade units that have lost their seal.
- Energy bill context: Drafty windows in winter are one of the most common and costly home performance problems in New England. Replacing failing windows removes an ongoing expense rather than simply adding a new one.
- ROI at resale: Window replacement delivers an 85% ROI nationally, with an average project cost of $22,000. The combination of energy savings and resale value makes it one of the most practical home investments available for the Inland Seacoast climate.
- Financing makes it accessible: Financing available up to 20 years based on credit approval. Make easy and affordable payments!
