Denver Windows

Despite Denver's high altitude of 5,332 feet (hence the "Mile High City" slogan), the climate is relatively mild, with more days of sunshine than either Miami or San Diego. Average daily temperatures range from 30 degrees in January to 70 degrees in August, with an annual average of 50 degrees. Nevertheless, heating costs are a concern for Denver residents. One way to minimize these costs is to install energy-efficient replacement windows.

Denver Replacement Windows Criteria?

According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), approximately a third of the heat loss from the typical home is through the windows. Depending on the type of windows currently in a Denver home, significant energy savings can be achieved through replacement windows. Older single pane windows, windows with aluminum frames, windows with damaged or rotted wood frames, and warped or poorly fitting windows are prime candidates for replacement.

Best Replacement Windows in Denver

The best window frames from a cost/performance perspective are vinyl. The best glass is double- or triple-pane, with an inert gas such as argon in the spaces between panes. Low-e coatings can also help reduce heat transfer.

What Return on Investment Can I Expect With Replacement Windows?

Window replacement in Denver homes yields an excellent return on investment--78.2 percent of the average $10,239 cost for a mid-range home, and 79.5 percent of the $13,076 cost for an upscale home. Both percentages are above the national average. In addition, you can get a federal tax credit amounting to 30 percent of the replacement windows' cost (excluding labor and installation) up to $1,500, provided that your replacement windows meet the Energy Star criteria of less than 0.30 U-value and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC).
