If you live in an older home, the time will eventually come that it will be necessary to have replacement windows installed. The old, outdated windows currently present within an older structure lack the energy efficiency, safety, security, and features that new replacement windows offer.
By replacing your windows, you will save money on your energy/utility bills, increase the comfort of your home, enjoy higher levels of safety and security, and reduce your carbon footprint. Continue reading to learn everything you need to know about the window replacement program that is currently available to Georgia homeowners.
What is the 203 Georgia Window Replacement Program?
The Georgia 203 Window Replacement Program is an initiative that is provided by the Environmental Finance Authority in the State of Georgia (GEFA) to aid in the promotion of energy efficiency and increased sustainability within homes in the state. In short, homeowners can upgrade the windows in their home to those that have a high level of energy efficiency in order to reduce the amount of energy that the home consumes, overall.
This helps to save money on utility bills, reduce the carbon footprint of the home, and even contributes to creating a safer, more secure and overall healthier environment.
The Benefits of Installing Energy Efficient Windows
There are many benefits associated with having energy efficient replacement windows placed within the home. The following outlines the top-rated benefits:
- Lower Energy Consumption – By installing energy efficient windows, your home will run at a more consistent temperature and the HVAC system will not have to work as often or as hard. This will lower your utility bills immensely.
- Noise Reduction – Today’s energy efficient windows are built with new and improved sound blocking technological materials. This will reduce the amount of noise from the exterior of your home.
- Increased Value – Energy efficient replacement windows are considered to be an upgrade for the home. As a result of this, the overall value of your home will increase. If you ever plan to sell the home, this investment could result in your property being more attractive to the potential buyers.
