Let’s Run the numbers…

I have read many great articles that weigh the cost and benefit of window replacement versus window restoration. Every single one determines, without fail, that replacement is seldom in your best financial interest.

In his article, Stop and Think Before Replacing Windows, Tim Carter runs the numbers for his friend who lives in a brick bungalow with ten average-sized windows.

I encourage you to read Tim's full article for all the specifics, but for brevity, I will distill his analysis—

Tim's friend received replacement estimates that ranged from $10,197 to $31,498. His cost to heat and cool his home in 2021 was $1,539. According to a reputable window company, Tim's friend can expect to reduce his energy costs by 15% annually, which equals a savings of $230.85. Worst case, it would take Tim's friend 86 years to recoup the cost of the replacement windows!
