Are you considering having your windows replaced, but aren’t sure of the benefits of choosing a high-efficiency model? Besides saving money on your energy bill, high-efficiency windows will make your home more comfortable and welcoming, protect your furniture, and reduce condensation. If that’s not enough to convince you to upgrade your current windows, read on and learn more about the incredible benefits of high-efficiency windows.
SAVE ENERGY
High-efficiency windows reduce air transfer between your home and the great outdoors. How does this save energy? It’s simple. In the winter you can turn down the heatless warm air that will be transferred through your window glass — and in the summer your AC can take a break — less solar radiation will come into your home. By reducing the amount of work for your heating and cooling appliances you’ll be drastically reducing your energy consumption. This reduction in energy use will mean a huge reduction in the cost of your utilities!
IMPROVE COMFORT
Do you struggle with having drafty areas in your home? Or, on the contrary, uncomfortably hot temperatures in areas that receive the most sunlight? With high-efficiency windows, less air and solar radiation are being transferred through your windows, and the temperature in your home will be the same wherever you go. Additionally, high-efficient windows have the added benefit of dampening sound. Whether you want to feel comfortable turning up the music, are sick of hearing your neighbor’s conversations, or live in a high-traffic area, new windows could be your solution.
PROTECT YOUR FURNISHINGS
High-efficiency windows are designed to block out the harmful UV rays of the sun, which are not only potentially hazardous to people but can damage and discolor furniture and fabrics as well. With energy-efficient windows, you can block out up to 98% of harmful UV rays.
REDUCE CONDENSATION
Another benefit of the reduced amount of air transfer that high-efficiency windows provide is less condensation in your home. Less condensation means less mold and mildew growth. This can benefit allergy sufferers and those prone to illness, as well as help to protect your curtains and paint from damage.
It’s also important to mention that, on top of the numerous practical benefits, energy-efficient windows also look great! They’re also built from high-quality materials, so they will last you longer and add value to your home. The sooner you upgrade to high-efficiency windows the sooner you will begin saving money and living more comfortably.
