Home > Blog > Should Replace All Windows At Once
New windows are an investment. If your home is in need of them, you may be considering installing just a few at a time to spread out the cost. But is this the best option? It may be more economical in the long run to do them all at once. Making a wise, informed decision will help you make the most out of your home.

While the investment of doing all of your windows up front may seem high, the truth is that it will pay off in the long run. First, you may get a discount for buying more windows based on current specials. You will definitely save on labor, because the installation team only has to drive to your home and set up their equipment one time instead of multiple times. If you do only five windows now and then another five at a later date, you will end up paying the same amount for the windows themselves, and more for the overall labor.
Second, if your windows are old and drafty and you replace all of them, you will start saving on your energy bills right away. The energy savings can help offset the initial cost.
Your new windows will look different than your old windows. Are you going to be happy with the look of your home if the windows are different? This is particularly problematic if you are replacing windows on the same side of the house. Visual appeal is definitely worth considering in the long run.
New windows add to the potential resale value of your home. If you only replace some of the windows, the impact will be lessened. People want to see new, energy-efficient windows on all of the window openings, not just some.
Home repairs take away from your daily life. You have to have someone home while the contractors are there, and you may not be able to use your home in the normal way. If you have your replacement windows installed all at once, you’ll only have to deal with this frustration once.
That said, there are times when it makes sense to replace just some of your windows. If you have some windows that are broken, and you can’t budget for the entire job at once, you need to take care of the problem. Similarly, if some of your windows are newer than others, you may be well served by replacing just the older ones.
Regardless of what you choose, working with a qualified, knowledgeable, and honest company is essential. Reach out to APCO for help.
