Hi, I’d probably look at it this way — in an older house, just replacing the old windows with new ones can already make a huge difference 🙂 My friends noticed after the replacement that their home simply felt much more comfortable — warmer, quieter, and without that unpleasant cold feeling near the windows during winter.
As for energy bills, I honestly haven’t heard many stories like “wow, I’m paying half as much now,” but people often say the house holds heat better and the warmth doesn’t escape as quickly. And the noise reduction is definitely a big plus too, especially if you live near a busy street.
