Return On Investment
How much ROI can you expect on replacement windows?
A variety of different products can be installed in homes or buildings in order to produce a positive return on investment (ROI). However, windows are often the top recommendation because they can increase a property’s value through numerous benefits: energy savings, sound control, functionality, comfort, aesthetics, architectural appeal, and more. High-quality windows will last for many years to come and clearly add a lot of value to a space. But how much can you expect when it comes to the ROI on replacement windows?
Sample calculations taken from the HERO Program’s calculator for windows.

That figure is pretty close to what residential customers in California have experienced over the past 40+ years.

Of course, it’s worth keeping in mind that windows provide more than a solid ROI. Other benefits should be considered, including noise control, comfort, functionality, and overall curb appeal. In addition, remember that replacing old doors can provide many of the same perks.
