If, like many homeowners, you’ve found that your utility bills are slowly and steadily creeping higher, your windows may be the reason. Installing new energy-efficient windows may quickly lead to a steep drop in your heating and cooling bills. Energy-efficient windows combine several features to achieve those impressive results.

Features That Make Windows Energy Efficient

Energy-efficient windows have two or three panes of glass to provide better insulation than single-paned windows. Multiple panes of glass can help keep your home at a comfortable temperature, regardless of the season.

Multi-paned windows have spaces between the layers of glass to reduce heat loss. Some energy-efficient windows also have a gas, such as argon or krypton, between the glass panes to provide additional insulation. That can dramatically reduce heat transfer so you will be able to rely less on your furnace or air conditioner.

In addition, energy-efficient windows have low-E coatings that reflect heat. That can help keep your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Reducing the amount of sunlight that reaches your home’s interior can also prevent your flooring and furniture from fading.

Enjoy the Benefits of Energy-Efficient Windows

High utility bills can strain your monthly budget. Upgrading your current windows to ones that are more energy efficient can lead to substantial savings. Replacing your windows may be a costly project, but you will immediately begin to see a return on your investment, and you’ll continue to enjoy savings for years to come.

There is another benefit to installing energy-efficient windows. If you eventually choose to sell your home, the windows can help you attract a buyer. People who are searching for their next home often make energy efficiency a top priority because they want to minimize their utility costs and do their part to protect the environment. Installing new energy-efficient windows can reduce your bills now, and you’ll recoup a significant percentage of the money you spent when you sell your home.
