As a homeowner, when you think about replacement
windows,
it’s not uncommon to ponder their energy efficiency. Of course that is normally
centered on the energy efficiency of the replacement
windows themselves. However, with the developments
in technology over the years, your replacement windows can offer much more than their own energy efficiency and could
impact your monthly energy costs.
You might ask – “So how is this?”
Basically, when you invest in superior
windows like those from Pella®, the glass and frame can help keep heat out during the summer and cold out during the winter. Doing this means the workload on your heating and
cooling equipment can go down as well, saving you
money over time.
When you consider everything, older windows that aren’t as energy efficient
can make a huge impact on the amount of heat
and/or air leaving your home due to unsealed
windows. And that is air that you’ve already paid to heat up or cool down.
That, along with the improvement of various glass
coatings, like low-E (low-emissivity) coatings, might help lower
the amount of unwanted heat that makes its way in to your
home.
Depending on how long it has been since your home last had replacement windows
installed, you may potentially be losing a lot of indoor air due
to leaking and inefficient windows and around the
installed window. If you’d like to view all the replacement
windows you have to select from Pella Windows and Doors, feel free to
