Replacing your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows could increase the sale price of your home. As mentioned before, windows preserve most of their initial value especially given their long life expectancy.

In addition, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy savings. Here we try to find out : What’s the return on energy savings when selling the house? The following is what we found in North Wales:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in North Wales, your home value could increase by between $752.75 and $1101.52 for a mid-tier or top-tier North Wales home respectively. For comparison, the same replacement in Philadelphia may get you somewhere between $696 and $1018.48.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. North Wales homeowners could see an estimated home value increase of between $2115.59 for mid-tier homes and $3095.81 for the top tier. Compare this to between $1764 and $2581.32 in Philadelphia.
In other words, a window upgrade in North Wales can add between 0.21% percent and 0.88 % percent to the value of your home through the energy efficiency premium buyers have shown a willingness to pay. Add to this the aforementioned +72.3% retained initial worth of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a North Wales homeowner is relatively strong.
The variation between the range for North Wales and Philadelphia, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.2% percent and 0.29% percent respectively, is dependent on a number of factors, especially; the 0.91% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ propensity to pay more for energy savings at a given price point in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington region, and heating & cooling cost differences between North Wales and Philadelphia.
