Jacksonville Window Replacement

A Jacksonville window replacement is the ideal way to increase the energy efficiency of a Florida home. You will see savings on the very first heating and cooling bill once the replacements are complete. If you have noticed that your FL home is getting very warm in the summer despite the best efforts of the cooling system, it is probably time to do a Jacksonville window replacement. Shop online to find the best available rates on a replacement in your area. You will undoubtedly be pleased at the affordability of replacements.

Energy Star

When shopping for a replacement for a window in a Jacksonville, FL home, be sure to look for Energy Star approved products. The Energy Star emblem tells you that the window has passed vigorous testing for energy efficiency. When you use more energy efficient products, you may also qualify for a tax rebate on the cost of the window through the Energy Star program.

The Energy Star program was developed to encourage homeowners to use energy efficient products when doing their home improvement projects. Be sure to save the receipts for the window as well as the installation receipts and talk to the tax professional you use to determine what rebates you might be eligible for.

In order for a Jacksonville window replacement to be energy efficient, it must have a low U value, or U factor, a low air infiltration, and the proper amount of solar heat gain in Jacksonville, Florida. The solar heat gain is the measurement of the amount of solar energy that passes through the windowpane. In warmer climates like FL, it is important to have a lower solar heat gain.

Replacement Window Cost

The cost to replace a window in Florida depends on the material you use and the size of the windows to be replaced. If cost is a concern, there are several items you can do to help minimize the damage to your pocketbook. One of the easiest things to do is to spread the replacements over time. You might want to do the worst windows first and then work your way through the others as you can.

Another great way to save on the cost of the Jacksonville window replacement in a home is to choose low cost material. One of the best replacement windows for this purpose is the vinyl styles. Florida vinyl window replacement is an excellent choice for any replacement need. It is affordable, easy to maintain, and will last for many years.

If cost is not a concern, and you like the look of wood but not the upkeep, you may want to consider using a composite material. Composite windows will not warp or rot like wood will and require virtually no maintenance. These windows are slightly higher in price, but well worth it in the amount of efficiency you will gain in your Jacksonville home.

Another great way to lower the cost of the replacements is to consider doing the work yourself. Replacing windows is not hard, especially for jobs like single paned glass window replacement and can be done by anyone who is handy with tools. If you are nervous to do the work yourself, consider splitting the work with a contractor. For instance, you can remove the old units and allow the contractor to place the new ones.

Replace Windows

To replace the windows in your Jacksonville home, first measure the units you plan to replace. Carefully measure the width and the length of your old units in three places and record the lowest measurement. This will ensure you purchase a Jacksonville window replacement that will fit properly.

The next item you will want to look at is the frames. If you have frames on your old windows that are rotted or damaged, you will need to replace the frames at the same time you replace the windows. A new Jacksonville window replacement will not fit properly in a damaged frame and so will not give you maximum efficiency.

If you do have damaged frames, you may want to consider hiring a Jacksonville contractor to do the replacement project for you. The contractor will add a new frame and ensure the Jacksonville window replacement fits snugly into the opening. Be sure to get quotes from several licensed and insured contract companies before you choose one.

A Jacksonville window replacement is the best way to increase the value of your Jacksonville home while improving the look and the energy efficiency. Be sure, when you are shopping for a Jacksonville window replacement that you look for efficient products and save the receipts for tax purposes. No matter whether you are replacing casement, awning, or picture windows, you will find amazing savings from a variety of providers when you shop online. Compare quotes and order the replacements from the comfort of your living room or office.
