Description
Value You Can Measure
Frenchtown homeowners have countless strong reasons to upgrade their windows. Fixing old windows, changing the design of your home etc… Some such values may be measured rather explicitly.
To start, windows conserve about 72.3 percent of their initial purchase value in New England according to the Remodeling 2020 Cost vs. Value Report. This places windows among the top 5 home improvement investments in terms of value retention.
As for energy savings, residents of Frenchtown, should notice impressive declines on monthly bill for heating & cooling. If you already have dual pane windows you could save about $115.2 compared to $100 in Atlantic City. On the other hand, when upgrading single-pane windows to National Vinyl’s EnergyStar rated windows you could save about $375.82 every year, compared to $274 in Atlantic City.

Switching your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows may 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.
Moreover, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to answer the question : What’s the ROI on energy savings when selling the house? This is what we estimated in Frenchtown:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Frenchtown, your home value could increase by around $691.21 and $1011.47 for a mid-tier or top-tier Frenchtown home respectively. Compare this to, the same replacement in Atlantic City could add somewhere between $600 and $878.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Frenchtown homeowners may expect an estimated home value gain of between $2254.89 for mid-tier homes and $3299.66 for the top tier. Compare this to between $1644 and $2405.72 in Atlantic City.
Another way to look at it, a window investment in Frenchtown can add between 0.22% percent and 1.07 % percent to the sale 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 worth of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Frenchtown homeowner is quite clear.
The variation between the range for Frenchtown and Atlantic City, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.19% percent and 0.28% percent respectively, can be estimated from a number of factors, notably; the 1.69% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ propensity to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the New York-Newark-Jersey City region, and energy price differences between Frenchtown and Atlantic City.
