Window Replacement Saves Money for Manassas and Woodbridge Homeowners

Many homeowners living in Manassas, Woodbridge, Gainesville and Lake Ridge are thinking about ways to maintain or improve their present home instead of buying a bigger one. Staying put and increasing the value of your present home can be a smart move in today’s economy.

Some improvements, though, provide more benefits to homeowners than others.

Take, for example, window replacement. Many older homes have windows that have outlasted their useful life. And in recent years it seems that new home builders have used increasingly less expensive products that need to be replaced much faster.

One of the most critical benefits of window replacement is that new windows can improve the energy efficiency of the home. That means that heating and cooling costs go down. Also, because replacement windows save energy they are good for both the local and global environments.

Now is a great time to replace your windows. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 allows homeowners to take a tax credit of 30 percent of the cost of the new windows up to $1500 total. For more information and details on the credit, visit the government’s Energy Star website and consult your own tax advisor. Not all Energy Star products qualify for the credit. Make sure that your windows meet the strict government standards to qualify.
