Is Window Replacement worth the Savings?

Many people would think that replacing your windows would save you money with lower heating bills.

A recent article states that on average a new window with a low e-rating(low energy rating, lower is better) could take 15-20 years to recoup the costs.

" If you are going to spend money in order to save it - isn't it funny it works that way - then spend the money where you will get the most bang for your buck. Increased insulation or a new efficient furnace are a couple of real solid choices. Even though the furnace can run in the $1400-1800 range the return on your investment in lower heating bills can pay for itself in 3-5 years in stead of the 15-20 of windows!

There are good reasons to replace windows in addition to some energy cost savings. The increased resale value of your house could more than cover the cost of the windows, especially if you installed them yourself or with supervision of a contractor friend. New windows improve the appearence of your house and may make you feel better with it looking nicer.
