Replacements
Replacement Windows
Heartland Home Improvements offers replacement window options with a variety of brands, depending on your individual project needs. Our goal is to help you determine what style, type and brand of windows would work best for you by walking you through the available options and making recommendations.
The benefits of upgrading to vinyl windows are many and have significant impact on the energy efficiency, sustainability and cosmetic appeal of your home.Vinyl windows are more attractive, require less maintenance and have superior thermal efficiency ratings. They wear easier than other types of replacement windows, without unsightly peeling or pitting, and are quite simple to care for and clean.
Heartland uses custom-sized, insulated, Low E/Argon-filled glass windows with high R-values and low U-values. These qualities all mean one thing for your window replacements: more efficient, better performing windows that keep your home’s energy costs down and your home environment warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Replacement Doors
Perhaps one of the most important exterior features of your home is your entryway door. It welcomes visitors, is your first defense against the outside world and presents an image of your property to passersby. As such, it is important to choose a door that has both curb appeal and functionality.
Heartland Home Improvements recommends upgrading your exterior doors to fiberglass for several reasons. Fiberglass is much more resilient than other materials on the market; it won’t crack, splinter or dent the way wood doors do, nor will it rust or warp the way steel doors do. It resists swelling and shrinking with temperature changes and provides greater insulation than wood as it is filled with a solid polyurethane foam core. All of these factors lead to greater energy efficiency, structural integrity and attractiveness.

Tax Credit
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, property owners can receive tax credits for meetingcertain energy conservation incentives on home improvements. If taxpayers purchase replacement windows in 2009 and 2010 that meet energy efficiency guidelines, they become eligible for a tax credit of up to 30% of the purchase price, with a maximum credit of $1500.
