With the bloom of spring finally breaking through the doldrums of winter, it\u2019s time for homeowners to begin thinking about exterior projects around the home. For many of us, that includes replacing drafty, inefficient windows with newer, high efficiency models.<\/p>\n

With the massive window rebate program recently launched here in Ontario, there is no better time to consider a window upgrade than right now.\u00a0 In accordance with this new window upgrade<\/a> rebate program, homeowners can receive a rebate of up to $500 per window, to a maximum rebate of $5,000 for the entire project. What\u2019s more, is that this \u201cextra cash\u201d will make it easier to make additional updates to your home.<\/p>\n

Here are a few fantastic ways to consider reinvesting your rebate money.<\/p>\n

Update Your Windows Screens<\/h2>\n

While you\u2019re in the process of updating your windows, you may as well update the screens as well.<\/p>\n

Studies show that old-style frames prevent around 38 per cent of the natural light from entering your home. What\u2019s worse, is they block your view and may contribute to increased condensation too. With less sun filtration and the dampness of condensation in the room, the natural reaction is to turn up your heat to maintain the home\u2019s comfort<\/a>. That is where opting for next generation screens can help.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhantom window screens are superior alternatives to old-style framed screens in a number of important areas.\u201d Explains Holly Attfield of Ontario Screen Systems Inc, Ontario\u2019s distributor of Phantom Screens.<\/a><\/p>\n

Since these screens are retractable, either manually or via remote control, they allow 100 per cent of the light into your home when not in use.<\/p>\n

Add a New Garage Door<\/h2>\n

With a maximum $5,000 rebate, you can afford to pay for the purchase and installation of a new garage door<\/a> (depending on the style and size). Since your garage door plays such a prominent part in your home\u2019s curb appeal and also provides essential security, updating a door that\u2019s old or broken is something that shouldn\u2019t be put off.<\/p>\n

Bring Life to Your Backyard<\/h2>\n

Invest your window rebate in improved backyard living. $5,000 can go long way toward turning your backyard into the family\u2019s favourite place to be. Improve your deck, re-sod, invest in professional landscaping<\/a>, or install a new patio.<\/p>\n

Invest in Home Comfort<\/h2>\n

While upgrades behind the walls may bot feel as exciting as those you can see, improving your home\u2019s insulation<\/a> is one of the most important upgrades you can make. Once you\u2019ve upgraded to higher efficiency windows, it only makes sense to tackle your home\u2019s insulation with the rebate money. With $5,000 you can consider spray foam as an option. Some benefits of spray foam insulation included energy costs of approximately 30 \u2013 50% each year, noise reduction, reduction of pollen and dust in the home.<\/p>\n
