Another year has arrived, bringing a new wave of home design and remodeling trends. According to Zillow’s analysis of millions of for-sale listings in 2025, eco-friendly and energy-efficient homes are shaping buyer demand in 2026.
Homebuyers are increasingly searching for homes that combine modern design, sustainability, and long-term savings. Zillow reports that listings mentioning “green” or “sustainable” are up 21%, while references to zero-energy-ready homes, designed to reduce energy use, have surged by 70%. Homes with solar energy storage, whole-home batteries, and EV charging capabilities are also gaining traction.
Energy-Efficient Homes Save More Than the Planet
Eco-friendly upgrades do more than support sustainability, they can help homeowners save hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year on energy costs. One of the most impactful upgrades is installing high-performance, energy-efficient windows and doors, which improve insulation, reduce drafts, and maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round.
Why Homeowners Are Investing in Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors
In 2025, ProEdge Remodeling completed thousands of window and door projects across the New England, Northeastern, and Mid-Atlantic regions. Our team continues to see a clear shift: homeowners are prioritizing long-term investments in energy-efficient windows and doors to gain better control over heating and cooling costs during both hot summers and cold winters.
Design also plays a key role. Black-frame windows remain one of the fastest-growing design trends, offering a clean, modern look while complementing energy-efficient performance.
Energy-Efficient Upgrades That Make a Real Difference
At ProEdge Remodeling, we focus on practical, high-impact upgrades that deliver measurable results:
- Energy-Efficient Windows & Doors: Improve insulation, reduce air leakage, lower utility bills, and enhance curb appeal.
- Smart Remodeling Choices: Sustainable upgrades that increase comfort today and boost resale value tomorrow.
Eco-friendly remodeling doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. With the right improvements, homeowners can create spaces that are more energy-efficient, more comfortable, and easier to maintain. Understanding the price of window replacement and what impacts it is an important first step when planning an upgrade.
