Perhaps you’ve heard how much of a difference window replacement in Skokie, IL can make in your home. You probably already believe it (and you should because it’s true!) but once you have the windows replaced, you might want to track the differences so you can see them with your own eyes. It helps you to feel good about your investment and to even keep track of paying yourself back for the initial costs. Here are a few things to mark before you get window replacement and then to keep track of after.  

Utility Bills 

This is an easy one to keep track of and mark. You likely have bills from previous months and even if you don’t, you have proof of payments in your checking account. You can easily compare one bill to another, before and after. You’ll automatically see the difference from one month to the next and you’ll like that the prices go low and stay low. That’s the first way you will be able to figure out how fast you can pay yourself back for the investment.  

Comfort Tracking 

Taking note of your comfort is a little more complicated, but make a conscious effort to recognize how uncomfortable you are before you get window replacement. Are there drafts in certain rooms? Do you melt in one room and freeze in another? Are you always fiddling with the thermostat to try and even things out? Once you get window replacement, all of those discomforts, both large and small, should disappear. Once the new windows are in, take note that you no longer feel a draft on your neck and are no longer toying with the HVAC system to try and get things right.  

Home Value 

If you really want to get into details, have a realtor take a look at your home before you get window replacement and give you a valued assessment. Then, you can do the same after and see how much that value raises. This is important because whatever you increase is the amount you can count on getting when you sell, which will go far in paying yourself back as well. Most homeowners can get 80 percent of their investment back when they sell the home. The rest they can make up in utility savings in the meantime.  

These are just a few of the things you can use to track the progress that Skokie, IL window replacement brings to your home. You will be even happier you moved forward with the project if you are able to keep track of how much better things are in your home because of it.
