Upgrading 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.

Moreover, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to ascertain : What’s the return on energy savings when it comes time to sell? What follows is what we discovered in Groton:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Groton, your home value could increase by around $1240.47 and $1815.22 for a mid-tier or top-tier Groton home respectively. For comparison, the same upgrade in Burlington could add somewhere between $1182 and $1729.66.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Groton homeowners could expect an estimated home value increase of between $3719.2 for mid-tier homes and $5442.43 for the top tier. Compare this to between $3318 and $4855.34 in Burlington.
In other words, a window upgrade in Groton can add anywhere from 0.8% percent and 3.49 % percent to the value of your home through the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Combined with the aforementioned +72.3% retained upfront worth of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Groton homeowner is quite strong.
The variation between the range for Groton and Burlington, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.76% percent and 1.11% percent respectively, can be estimated from a number of factors, principally; the 0.55% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ willingness to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the region, and heating & cooling price differences between Groton and Burlington.
