Before you decide on a service provider to install your new windows, you should ask these five questions.

The latest window innovations offer much more than just a pretty view. New windows are more durable, energy efficient and safe than ever. If you haven’t replaced your windows in the past 20 years, you might be surprised by how much has changed.

“Years ago, windows were just something to plug a hole, let in light and keep out the elements,” says Dave Lincoln, a home improvement expert for Sears Home Services.

While windows today still cover the basics, new innovations in window design mean they’ve also come a long way in terms of safety, energy efficiency, durability and aesthetics.

“Typically all windows manufactured today will do a better job reducing sound when compared to windows of a decade or century ago,” Lincon says.

Here’s a deeper look at how windows have improved.

Windows provide much more than just a good view. They can enhance the design of a home, help maintain indoor temperatures and help save on your power bill.

On the other hand, keeping old windows can leave you with air and moisture leaks, fading furniture, noise intrusion, and overuse of heating or cooling.

If you face any of these problems in your home, it’s time to update your windows. But with all the options available, it can be hard to decide what best suits your needs. To narrow down your options, start by figuring out what your home needs and how much you can spend.

Need help deciding which windows are right for your home? Here’s what you need to know before you buy.

Bad windows can mean bad news—leaks, poor insulation and infestations. You might find that your frames have rotted, that your heat runs nonstop or that highway traffic leaves you with sleepless nights.

If your energy bills are higher than average, the extra costs might be passing through leaky windows.

Nobody wants to spend 30 percent more on energy bills because their windows are like sieves. While the most effective solution is to get energy efficient vinyl replacement windows—with high-performance features, such as double-paned gas-filled glass or low-e and spectrally selective glass coatings—here are a few other things to try:

• Seal air leaks with a combination of caulk and weatherstripping.
• Adhere clear plastic sheets to interior window frames to reduce drafts.
• Hang lined curtains or shades that insulate windows in cold weather and deflect sunlight in hot weather.
• Add awnings over windows that receive the most sun.
• Install weatherized storm windows on your home’s interior or exterior, or seal existing storm windows.
