One of the first questions you need to ask when considering installing new windows in your home is how many windows do I need?
If your goal is to maximize your home's efficiency the answer is simple: replace all of them. You can compare installing replacement windows to increase your home's efficiency to replacing the tires on your car to increase miles per gallon. If you only swap out one tire, you will have a slight increase in fuel efficiency; if you replace all 4 tires you max out the miles per gallon saved by having new tires. Same goes for windows in your home.
If your goal is to update the look of your house, to make that one room in your home that gets very hot during the day because of the sunlight shining through, or to replace some windows that leak or don't open then only install the number of windows that you need to meet your needs. In these situations you need to keep in mind that the new windows will look different than the ones you have in your house now. If you want to make one room on the front of your house more comfortable, consider how the new windows will look compared to the rest of the windows on the front of the house.
