Poor Materials

The single largest source for energy loss in a home is through its windows. Older homes with standard windows typically have higher-than normal energy bills - mainly because builder grade windows and doors are not made from high performance materials and they also lack proper insulation.

Utility Increases

Another big reason for high energy bills is an increase in the price of electricity and heating fuel. It is common knowledge that we can attribute high energy bills to an inefficient component of your home such as windows, heating and cooling equipment, ducts and insulation. Windows are the leading candidate since energy savings are often quickly earned when the right windows are in place. You can expect to save from 30% to 50% on your energy consumption once the retrofit takes place.

Buzz Words

How is this so? Well, no longer is multi-pane glass the main measure of efficiency. Over the past two decades, new advanced technologies have dramatically improved the performance of most energy efficient windows. Glass coatings, gas fills, warm edge spacers, foam insulated frames and overall improved framing materials enable replacement windows to deliver more benefits than simple double pane windows.
