If you are building a new home or plan on staying in your current home, choosing to go with energy efficient windows is a logical measure. Time and time again you have probably heard stories from architects, builders and homeowners on how these maximum-saving windows pay for themselves in just a few short years. Even if you plan on moving, these new “low-E” windows are further incentive for buyers to favor your property. Someone who is considering new windows on any level would do well to dig a little deeper and discover the many benefits of these windows.
It is time to stop kidding yourself; it is time for energy efficient windows:
- 30% tax break up to $1,500
- Tend to pay for themselves quickly
- Green is good, lower carbon footprint
- Increase home’s aesthetic value
- Great selling point
How many of these low-E windows work has much to do with heat, as in keeping it in your home or keeping it out. Remember what your teacher taught you in science class. Radiation moves heat as infrared energy through glass. Conduction is an immediate transfer of heat through your windows. Air leakage occurs with the passing of heated air through cracks, bypassing weather stripping. Convection is when air releases heat to the cool glass and sinks to the floor, sucking in new warm air to the glass that is also cooled, creating a draft. Whether it’s a sweltering summer afternoon and you want keep the heat out, or if it’s the holiday season and the meteorologist forecasts some rare snow flurries, you want to control the heat of your house on your terms. That’s why you want to save money and invest in energy efficient windows.
Windows are fantastic in many ways. In some cultures they have been considered a measure of wealth, and work as positive symbolism in literary circles. In terms of saving energy, however, windows are thermal holes. By their nature, they are a connection to the outdoors. But with enlightenment and progress in science and technology, we can have the benefits of windows without wasting so much money with energy efficient windows. Take control of your home, your utility bill and help save the environment by upgrading your windows!
It may be difficult to visualize just how much temperature treated air you are losing in your home with old, non-efficient windows. Suffice to say that the bigger the home and the older the windows, the more it is just like keeping your front door wide open, letting your cooled or heated air escape. That is like keeping your refrigerator door open for extended periods in the winter, or having a wide open oven door while cooking dinner during the hottest summer months. If economy is something that is on your mind, you should strongly consider our professional craftsmen coming to your home to assess the situation and install energy efficient windows. Helping you save money is one of our primary concerns.
