What type of windows should I choose for hurricane and storm protection?
Given the region's hurricane risk score of 96.95 and winter weather score of 94.27, consider impact-resistant windows with DP50 or higher wind ratings. Laminated glass provides better protection against storm debris compared to standard tempered glass.
-
How much can energy-efficient windows save on my electric bill?
With Connecticut electricity at $0.308 per kWh and 5,619 heating degree-days annually, upgrading to double-pane Low-E windows can reduce heating and cooling losses by 25-30%. For a home spending $300 monthly on heating, this could mean $75-90 in monthly savings during winter.
-
How long does a full-home window replacement take?
A 10-window project with standard double-hung replacements takes 2-3 days for a crew of 2-3 installers. Bay or bow windows add 4-6 hours each due to framing work. Weather delays and permit inspections can extend timelines by several days.
-
Are there tax credits available for new windows in Connecticut?
Yes. ENERGY STAR certified windows qualify for federal tax credits covering up to 30% of material costs, capped at $600 annually. Connecticut's Energize CT program offers additional state incentives. These credits can offset $500-1,000 on a typical full-home project.
-
Should I replace all windows at once or do them gradually?
A full-home replacement averaging $9,350 offers better per-window pricing than individual replacements at $770 each. With mortgage rates at 6.36%, financing a complete project often costs less than paying full price for windows one at a time over several years.
