The replacement of the old windows is not a cheap work, especially when you want to achieve the best results for the least money. Likely, you will also want to add a few more features on your windows like blinds or shades for example. You can find some of the cheapest blinds here to save your money and avoid buying the ones that are of the same quality but much more expensive.
Still, when replacing the windows, you need to take into consideration several things.
Consider the dual-paned windows
The heating/cooling bills, in our opinion, should be minimized as much as possible so the best option to do this is by getting the dual-paned windows. Once you determine to replace them, do have in mind that this type can save about 15 to 20% of the heat during the window.

Man Replacing Old Window
The catch is in the double chamber that keeps the heat inside and prevents it from escaping the outside. Yes, these do cost a lot more than the regular ones, but because an average family in the USA spends $1,000 on the heating annually, you can save up to $200 on the heating per year. Imagine that you can use those $200 as an additional investment. Therefore, go for the dual-pane/double-chamber windows to save money on the heating.
Think of the maintenance
A lot of people do not think of the maintenance as this is highly important aspect of this project. Installment is one thing, but the maintenance is something else. Wood ones are not of the highest quality like it was some 50 years ago, since the wood is cut down earlier, preventing it from growing naturally.
For his reason, we highly recommend using the vinyl material as it is durable, easy to clean and maintain and it is not prone to the effects of climate/weather. If possible, get the ones that have the additional aluminum coating that will add another 20 years of guarantee on your windows. Once you change the old ones, you will likely have to change them again while you are living in the house.
Do not forget the aesthetics – it increases the value of home
The window replacement increases the overall estate’s value, no doubt, not only because of the energy-efficiency or long lifespan, but also because of the improved aesthetics. Matching the color, material and design with the rest of the house may not be easy, but do have in mind that the more money you invest, the higher the price for your home is.

On top of that, the overall appearance of the house will be better and more stylish. Therefore, when you decide to sell it, the price will be higher that it would have been if you had not replaced the old windows. In this way you kill two birds with the single stone – you enhance the aesthetics but you also add more value to the home at the same time.
