How Insulated Glass Windows Can Save You Hundreds This Winter!
With heating and cooling costs continuing to rise at an alarming rate, homeowners are spending an absurd amount of money to heat and cool their homes. Energy loss that comes from windows, accounts for almost 25% of annual heating and cooling costs! It’s like throwing money straight out the window, literally!
So how can you avoid losing that money this winter? Easy, insulated windows. Insulated glass windows have been shown to reduce energy usage by up to 24% compared to single-pane windows. In New England, homeowners saved on average $450 a year just by switching to insulated windows.
Visual Appeal
Let’s face it, you’ve tried every trick in the book to save your heat from going out the windows; plastic films, draft blockers, and extra-thick curtains. Although these techniques may have helped a little, they’re still an eyesore. With insulated windows, there’s no visual sign of saving energy, besides your energy bill of course!
Energy Efficiency
When you install insulated windows, they help reduce the power used in your home. This prevents heat loss in the winter and keeps cool air inside during the hot season, saving you energy and money. A normal window has a surface temperature of about 30 degrees in the winter, while an insulated glass window has a surface temperature of about 56 degrees.
Noise Reduction
The first snowfall of the season can be magical, but also very loud. Children outside having snowball fights and yelling, your neighbors outdoor Christmas display blasting “Jingle Bells”, plows going by at all hours of the night; it can get tiring fast. Insulated windows help reduce outdoor noises to keep your home quiet when you need it most.
