Not sure how to choose the right replacement windows for you? We can help you choose the right window features for you!

As cold weather approaches your Timonium, Maryland home, there is one thing on everyone mind: how to lower heating costs. Why not replace those old windows with something new and sealed? But before you take those windows out of your Timonium home, let’s take a look at what you should be looking for when replacing your windows!

Heating and Cooling

Old, outdated windows can cost you hundred more dollars per year on your heating and cool costs. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a home with natural gas will spend an average of $578 this winter. But a home with oil as their primary heating source will pay $1,392. New windows will help to keep your home’s warm air in during the winter and out during the summer. Looking for Energy Star windows is the first step to replacing your windows. Energy Star windows, like the appliances, will help to minimize your energy usage.

Type of Windows

If you have ever wandered through a home improvement store, you have no doubt ended up in the window section a few times. There are many different types of windows for a homeowner to choose from. Frames come in many different materials including aluminum, wood, fiberglass, and vinyl. Each of these window types has different advantages and disadvantages. When choosing new windows, you also need to look at the different layers of glass like single, double, and triple paned to decide which option is the best for your Timonium home.

Quality over Quantity

When replacing your windows, make sure you do some estimates and comparisons before you choose. The first choice you have to make is the windows. Compare the windows side-by-side and take your time. Look at them thoroughly and make sure they look nice from both the inside and the outside. If they don’t look right on display, they won’t look right in your home. Make sure they easily open and close and are accessible for cleaning and new enough for parts if needed.

The Right Contractor

The next step is to compare contractors. Look for reputable contractors’ like Absolute Home Solutions for the best deal possible. But getting the best deal doesn’t necessary mean the best or lowest price possible. The price of your estimate should be related to the quality and experience of the installers, the quality of the product included in the estimate, and the insurance of the product. The lowest price does not always mean having the best installation. Choose quality work over a low price. It is also important to have your windows installed by specialists. Having your windows properly installed will help them to last as long as possible. Windows that are not installed correctly can fail over time and cost you more money in the long run. Having an experienced crew install your windows is essential, not only your energy efficiency but for the warranty and life expectancy of the windows.

There are many places to look when you decide to replace your windows, but there is only one contractor you should trust with your Timonium home: Absolute Home Solutions!
