Value You Can Measure
Somerset property owners have many valid reasons to replace their windows. Replacing old windows, improving the look and feel of your home etc… Certain such features should be quantified rather precisely.
For starters, windows preserve about 72.3 percent of their initial purchase value in New England according to the Remodeling 2020 Cost vs. Value Report. This puts windows among the top 5 home improvement investments in terms of value retention.
In terms of energy savings, houses in Somerset, can expect to experience dramatic drops on daily bill for heating & cooling. If you already have dual pane windows you could save around $108.81 compared to $114 in Boston. On the other hand, when upgrading single-pane windows to National Vinyl’s EnergyStar rated windows you may save about $305.72 per annum, compared to $344 in Boston.

Replacing your windows to EnergyStar rated National Vinyl windows may increase the sale 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 estimate : What’s the return on investment on energy savings when selling the house? The following is what we estimated in Somerset:
Basic Dual-Pane to National Vinyl
If you already have dual-pane windows (non-EnergyStar rated), in Somerset, your home value could increase by around $652.86 and $955.35 for a mid-tier or top-tier Somerset home respectively. Compare this to, the same replacement in Boston may get you somewhere between $684 and $1000.92.
Single-Pane to National Vinyl
When upgrading from low-efficiency single-pane windows, the potential is even greater. Somerset homeowners could yield an estimated home value gain of between $1834.32 for mid-tier homes and $2684.22 for the top tier. Compare this to between $2064 and $3020.32 in Boston.
Another way to look at it, a window upgrade in Somerset can add between 0.21% percent and 0.85 % percent to the asking 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 value of your windows, and National Vinyl’s lifetime warranty, the value proposition for a Somerset homeowner is quite strong.
The variation between the range for Somerset and Boston, which for reference, would yield a potential premium range of 0.22% percent and 0.32% percent respectively, is derived from a number of factors, notably; the -0.51% percent difference in median home prices, a buyers’ willingness to pay more for energy savings at a given price range in the Providence-Warwick region, and heating & cooling price differences between Somerset and Boston.
The data presented is derived from EnergyStar, the NREL,Department of Energy and extensive research done by the National Association of Homebuilders. Somerset home value data is provided by Zillow.
