Think windows.

New windows make a big difference not only for curb appeal, but also for your home’s overall energy efficiency. Vinyl windows in particular can help eliminate drafts so your home’s heating and cooling system doesn’t work harder than it needs to. Plus, you won’t see that pesky condensation between panes—a telltale sign that it’s time for new windows.

Warm up to gas fireplace inserts.

There’s nothing better than curling up in front of a fire and inhaling smoke, right? We didn’t think so. If you love the ambiance and warmth of a fire, but could do without the logs, soot, and smoke, a gas fireplace insert might be just the right upgrade for your home. Washington Energy Services offers Archgard gas fireplace inserts that fit right inside your existing wood fireplace. With its beautiful, sleek designs, realistic embers, and cozy warmth, you’ll wonder why you didn’t install one sooner.

Wash away that old sink.

Between doing dishes, washing your hands, or lathering up the dog, we’d be willing to bet that you spend a considerable amount of time at your kitchen sink. Is it a sight to behold, or a sight… that’s just old? You’d be surprised how much a new sink can elevate the overall look of a kitchen. If your sink is a little worse for the wear or simply doesn’t fit your style preferences, check out your local kitchen and bath showrooms. Whether you want to fuse rustic and modern with an apron sink, or keep it minimalist and metallic with stainless steel, investing in a sink is a quick way to up your kitchen game.

Countertops are tops.

This one goes without saying—countertops are a big deal. Upgrading from laminate to quartz, granite, or another type of stone is perhaps the most transformative change you can make to your kitchen. And with advances in technology, you can achieve a ‘wow’ factor even if you’re on a budget. If selling your home is on the horizon, upgrading from laminate is definitely an investment that will positively impact the bottom line.

These are just a few of the hottest home upgrades to consider in 2023 and beyond. WES has the products and expertise to help you pursue even more upgrades to make your home great… and as a side bonus, to keep up with the Joneses.
