Maan explains that if a homeowner replaces the windows, the home's resale value often goes up by more than the cost of the windows. He does caution homeowners that they do have to be careful. A quality product with quality installation will almost always help a homeowner realize a greater return, providing the price was fair. When you take into account the increase in your home's value, the appearance, the comfort, the reduction in outdoor noise, the balancing of hot and cold areas, the increase in cross ventilation, the ease of operation and the virtual elimination of maintenance, new windows are a must for most homeowners. Saving money on heating and cooling costs and cutting greenhouse emmissions are both just a bonus when you look at the overall picture.
