How window selection can impact your wallet.

According to DECO PROteste, as reported on Notícias ao Minuto, changing windows can benefit both the comfort of the home and your wallet, especially when opting for efficient windows with an energy label. These help reduce energy consumption, improve the thermal and acoustic insulation of the house, and increase its market value.

What to consider before replacing windows?

  • Plan your budget well.
  • Request quotes from several companies to compare prices and check the services offered, as replacing old windows can be expensive. Make sure the quote includes VAT for the windows, installation, and removal of old structures; 
  • Choose professionals and quality materials. Analyze references of previous work done by companies, ask about service guarantees, available assembly teams, and delivery times.
  • Regarding payment terms, ensure that the amount paid in advance for the service does not exceed 50% of the total cost; 
  • Opt for energy efficiency. Windows with good energy label provide better thermal performance and reduce heating or cooling costs of housing.  

With these guidelines, you can invest in windows that combine efficiency, comfort, and savings, promoting a more sustainable and valuable home.
