Description
Value You Can Measure
Bethel property owners have countless good reasons to upgrade their windows. Upgrading old windows, renewing the decor of your home etc… Some such values can be measured rather explicitly.
First of all, windows conserve about 72.3 percent of their initial purchase value in New England according to the Remodeling 2020 Cost vs. Value Report. This puts windows among the top 5 home improvement investments in terms of value retention.
With regards to energy savings, houses in Bethel, will most probably have important reductions on annual spending for electricity. If you already have dual pane windows you could save around $203.91 compared to $197 in Burlington. By comparison, when replacing single-pane windows to National Vinyl’s EnergyStar rated windows you may save approximately $600.41 per annum, compared to $553 in Burlington.

Replacing your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows could add to the value of your home. As mentioned before, windows preserve most of their initial value especially given their long life expectancy. At a rate of 72.3% estimated for 2020 an average total window replacement job costing $17,925 would preserve $13,018 of its initial value.
In addition, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to determine : What’s the return on energy savings when selling the house? Here is what we uncovered in Bethel:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Bethel, your home value could increase by around $1223.46 and $1790.33 for a mid-tier or top-tier Bethel home respectively. For comparison, the same replacement in Burlington could yield somewhere between $1182 and $1729.66.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Bethel homeowners may yield an estimated home value increase of between $3602.49 for mid-tier homes and $5271.64 for the top tier. Compare this to between $3318 and $4855.34 in Burlington.
Another way to look at it, a window investment in Bethel can add anywhere from 0.58% percent and 2.5 % percent to the asking price of your home via the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Add to this the aforementioned +72.3% retained upfront value of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Bethel homeowner is relatively strong.
The variation between the range for Bethel and Burlington, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.56% percent and 0.82% percent respectively, is dependent on a number of factors, in particular; the 0.39% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ likelihood to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Claremont-Lebanon region, and energy cost differences between Bethel and Burlington.
