Let’s face it. Times are still not great when it comes to the financial situation in the U.S. And because of this recession, we are all looking for ways to save on cost all across the board. When it comes to new window installation for your home, a great idea to help you save in cost, is by installing energy efficient windows. In a place like New York, we all know the extreme weather conditions we face throughout the year. Winters are normally freezing, while summers can be terribly humid and hot. You probably care a lot about how comfortable your home feels, because it is your escape from these daily weather extremes.
Energy efficient windows can be phenomenal for both of these harsh seasons. In the winter, windows have represented a major source of unwanted heat loss, discomfort and condensation problems. New, energy efficient windows can help prevent these things from happening and improve comfort. With a triple layer, high solar gain window you can see up to 24 - 26% savings in your electric bill, due to heating annually. Pretty cool, huh?
In the summertime, these same windows can save you just as much, if not more. Older windows have continuously been the cause of unwanted heat gain into homes. Now, these newer, energy efficient windows have something called a low-E coating that rejects the solar heat, while at the same time not darkening the window. You can still enjoy a view and be cool at the same time. You’re energy costs to run an air conditioner are lessened by nearly 35%. Who would object to that?
