Discover the Potential Benefits of Energy Efficient Windows

While home renovations have often meant selecting new blinds, paints, or window treatments – people often forget how much their windows could actually impact their electricity consumption, property value, and overall utility bills!

What are Energy Efficient Windows?

Energy-efficient windows, also known as energy-saving windows, are designed to prevent your heated or cooled air from escaping from your home. Their increased insulation reduces your home’s energy usage—and therefore, your bills! —while also making your home more comfortable overall.

Benefits 

You Could Save Money While Reducing your Carbon Footprint

By running heaters and air-conditioners less, you effectively reduce thousands of pounds of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. While installing these new and improved windows, you could also improve the lighting within a certain room, lowering the use of electric lighting.

Replacing your home windows with energy-efficient models could help save you money while also helping preserve and protect the environment.
Better Insulation

Heating your home in the winter and cooling it in the summer is much harder with single-pane wood windows.  Believe it or not, your single pane windows don’t do a great job of retaining indoor temperatures.

Similarly, single-pane windows don’t exactly help maintain cooler temperatures in the summer.  Because sunlight enters through these single panes of glass unfiltered, the full spectrum of light passes through the glass, effectively turning your home into a greenhouse.

Protect Furniture from UV Rays
Nowadays, you know about the harmful effects of the sun. Unlike your skin, your carpet and furniture can’t wear a thick layer of suntan lotion.

Single pane windows can’t filter light that damages your property and deteriorates your belongings. Left unchecked, carpets and furniture can fade over time, causing unforeseen expenses.

Noise Reduction
The spaces between panes of glass do more than insulate against outdoor temperatures. New windows could also help dampen street noise and other loud sounds outside.

Reduced Maintenance

Energy-efficient windows require less maintenance because less condensation is present, and this lowers the chance of mold issues. Also, the UV-resistant coating helps eliminate water spots and dirt buildup on the outside.
