Description
Value You Can Measure
Norfolk homeowners have plenty excellent reasons to upgrade their windows. Replacing broken windows, improving the style of your home etc… Some such values should be counted rather precisely.
To start, windows maintain about 72.3 percent of their initial purchase value in New England according to the Remodeling 2020 Cost vs. Value Report. This sets windows among the top 5 home improvement investments in terms of value retention.
As for energy savings, homes in Norfolk, are likely to experience important reductions on daily expenditures for home energy. If you already have dual pane windows you could save approximately $196.44 compared to $172 in Hartford. On the other hand, when replacing single-pane windows to National Vinyl’s EnergyStar rated windows you could save about $591.49 per annum, compared to $439 in Hartford.
Build your Norfolk Home’s Asking Price through Energy Savings

Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows may increase the asking price 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 figure out : What’s the return on investment on energy savings when it comes time to sell? Below is what we found in Norfolk:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Norfolk, your home value could increase by around $1178.65 and $1724.76 for a mid-tier or top-tier Norfolk home respectively. Compare this to, the same upgrade in Hartford may get you somewhere between $1032 and $1510.16.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Norfolk homeowners could see an estimated home value increase of between $3548.95 for mid-tier homes and $5193.29 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2634 and $3854.42 in Hartford.
Put differently, a window upgrade in Norfolk can add between 0.4% percent and 1.75 % percent to the sale price of your home by way of the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Combined with the aforementioned +72.3% retained upfront value of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Norfolk homeowner is relatively strong.
The variation between the range for Norfolk and Hartford, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.35% percent and 0.51% percent respectively, can be estimated from a number of factors, notably; the 1.58% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ likelihood to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Torrington region, and energy price differences between Norfolk and Hartford.
