Lower bills, a more comfortable home and higher resale value: how energy-efficient windows pay you back.
Energy costs keep climbing, and older windows are one of the biggest places a home loses heat in winter and gains it in summer. Energy-efficient windows help on both fronts. Here's how they pay you back.
Lower energy bills
Older windows let heat escape in winter and let the sun's heat pour in during summer, so your heating and cooling system has to work harder. Energy-efficient windows use Low-E glass coatings, double or triple panes and insulated frames to slow that heat transfer. The result is lower bills all year long.
A more comfortable home
Insulated glass units are filled with argon or krypton gas between the panes, which adds another layer of insulation. Rooms stay closer to the temperature you set, without cold spots by the windows in January or hot spots in July. Because your HVAC system runs less, it may also last longer and need fewer repairs.
Higher home value
Buyers notice energy-efficient upgrades. New windows can raise your home's resale value and help it stand out in a competitive market.
Tax credits and rebates
Federal tax credits have been available for qualifying energy-efficient windows, and some utilities and local programs offer rebates too. These programs change over time, so check what's currently available in your area and talk to your tax advisor.
Better for the environment
Using less energy means a smaller carbon footprint. And because modern glass insulates so well, you can enjoy more natural light without giving up comfort.
The bottom line
Energy-efficient windows lower your bills, make your home more comfortable, add value and reduce your energy use. All of our windows are ENERGY STAR® certified. Request a free estimate to see what new windows could do for your home.
