2026 Home Improvement Resolutions: Start with Energy-Efficient Windows

A New Year, A New Home: Make Energy Efficiency Your 2026 Resolution

As we enter 2026, many Wisconsin homeowners are setting goals to live healthier, spend smarter and reduce their environmental impact. If one of your resolutions is to improve your home and save money in the long run, there’s one project that checks all the boxes: upgrading to energy-efficient windows.

New windows don’t just look great, they can cut your energy bills, increase comfort, and even boost your home’s resale value. Here’s why making window replacement part of your home improvement goals in 2026 is a smart move.

Save on Energy Bills in 2026

Heating and cooling costs are no joke in Wisconsin. Old, drafty windows are one of the biggest culprits of energy loss in a home. According to ENERGY STAR®, homeowners can save hundreds per year by switching to energy-efficient windows that reduce drafts and improve insulation.

Benefits of energy-efficient windows include:

  • Lower monthly utility bills
  • Reduced strain on your HVAC system
  • A more comfortable indoor temperature year-round.

Tip: Look for windows with Low-E glass coatings, airtight seals, and multi-pane construction, all features included in Renewal by Andersen windows.

Align with Eco-Friendly Goals

If “going green” is one of your 2026 resolutions, energy-efficient windows are a natural choice. Not only do they help your home use less energy, but Renewal by Andersen’s exclusive Fibrex® material is sustainably manufactured with reclaimed wood fiber and a lower carbon footprint than vinyl.

When you choose eco-conscious windows, you’re:

  • Reducing your environmental impact
  • Supporting sustainable manufacturing
  • Lowering your home’s carbon emissions
  • A Smart, High-ROI Home Improvement Project

Not all home projects offer the same return, but window replacement is consistently among the highest ROI remodeling projects. In fact, new windows can recover 60-70% of their cost at resale, according to national real estate data.

Plus, they:

  • Instantly improve curb appeal
  • Reduce noise from outside
  • Add value to your home

Why Winter is the Perfect Time to Get Started

Many homeowners assume spring is the time for window replacement, but winter installations offer unique advantages:

  • Flexible scheduling
  • Shorter lead times
  • Immediate energy savings during peak heating season

At Renewal by Andersen, our expert installers are trained to perform efficient, weather-tight installations year-round, even during Wisconsin’s coldest months.

Make 2026 the Year of Smarter Living

Whether your resolution is to save money, live more sustainably, or invest wisely in your home, energy-efficient windows are a resolution you can feel good about all year long. Schedule your free consultation today!

Hear From Our Customers

I cant express how happy we are with choosing Andersen for our window installation. Our sales representative was knowledgeable with product and answered any questions we had without hesitation. I did also fill out a survey that was sent in an email, but sadly I failed to personally name the two gentlemen that performed the actual installation. Barrett and Francisco were our guys, and let me tell you, they were outstanding!!! They did Excellent work and were professional as well as efficient and made this a smooth, none evasive process for us. I strongly recommend this company and these installers to anyone in need of windows!!! My husband and I could not be more pleased we chose Andersen for replacing our windows!!!

This was a great crew to work with. Both the original install manager we worked with (Jay) and the install team (Daniel, Mason, Tony, Ethan, and Jose). Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. They answered all my questions and the end result on the house is great. In 3 days they replaced an old bay window with a new bay window, a set of french doors on the patio with a sliding patio door, and our old front door with a new front door and storm door.

Jason and Brett did an awesome job installing our doors. We had separate installers a month earlier for our windows who also did a fantastic job. They were all very professional and cleaned up almost better than the area looked before the installation! Since these were both jobs that took more than one day the installers were great at keeping us informed on the status of where the project was at along the way.
