Upgrading your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows could increase 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 figure out : What’s the ROI on energy savings when selling the house? What follows is what we uncovered in Plainfield:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Plainfield, your home value could increase by around $1224.52 and $1791.87 for a mid-tier or top-tier Plainfield home respectively. Compare this to, the same replacement in Burlington may get you somewhere between $1182 and $1729.66.

Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Plainfield homeowners may expect an estimated home value gain of between $3609.73 for mid-tier homes and $5282.25 for the top tier. Compare this to between $3318 and $4855.34 in Burlington.

Another way to look at it, a window investment in Plainfield can add between 0.59% percent and 2.54 % 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 Plainfield homeowner is relatively strong.
The variation between the range for Plainfield and Burlington, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.57% percent and 0.83% percent respectively, can be estimated from a number of factors, principally; the 0.4% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ propensity to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Barre region, and heating & cooling cost differences between Plainfield and Burlington.
