Bay and bow windows can increase the value of a home. These window styles not only enhance a home's aesthetic appeal by adding architectural interest and increasing natural light but also create additional interior space for seating or decorative purposes. The added functionality and visual appeal can make a home more attractive to potential buyers, potentially leading to a higher resale value. However, the impact on home value depends on various factors, including the overall condition of the home, local real estate market trends, and the quality of the window installation.

In short, it depends. After 20 years, the glass in your windows is less energy efficient, which can cause increased electricity bills. You might also see signs of water damage or natural wear and tear over the years. However, with proper maintenance, some window frames can last up to 50 years, so you may only need to replace the glass to save on energy. 

At the same time, window replacement is a major investment, so replacing the glass in rooms most impacted by outdoor temperatures is one way to avoid going all-in to replace your windows.

Your new windows may let in more noise than your old windows because they are not the right size or they were installed improperly. Improper installation, or choosing windows that are too small for the opening, can create gaps around the window that let in noise.

Another factor could be the STC and OITC ratings. If your new windows have lower ratings than your old windows, this means they have lower performance when it comes to dampening noise from the outdoors.
