Summer is here again, and with it, high temperatures. Here in Fort Worth, TX we know just how hot it can get outside. The real question is: how hot is it inside your house? Can your home stand up to what Mother Nature throws at it? Your AC is working overtime, but maybe there is something you can do to give it a fighting chance against temperatures that average in the upper 90s for months at a time.
Surely you’ve heard the phrase “You’ve got to spend money to make money” a few times in your life—-maybe you’ve even said it to someone. What if there was an investment in your home that could quickly make up for the hit your wallet takes? What if this purchase could help you beat the summer heat, keep out the cold and drafty air of winter, and increase the value of your home all at once? What purchase could accomplish all of this? Energy efficient windows from Energy Window Solutions.
How Does It Work?
How can buying windows save money? Maybe you haven’t given much thought to how windows can change your life since you last used a PC. If so, it’s time to put down your iPhone and do some serious thinking about the windows on your house.
Let’s first look at how windows factor into how energy efficient a home is or isn’t. Old single pane windows do little more than keep the flies and rain out of your home. Single panes also let a lot of heat build up inside your home like a greenhouse. If your home is still using this outdated feature—it’s time to upgrade!
Choosing windows that use more than one pane of glass means that your home will be better insulated. The space between each pane is filled with gas that keeps the hot summer sun from raising the temperature inside.
Thankfully, we offer a selection of more advanced energy efficient windows to choose from. Select from a wide variety of options such as the Rehau, Triple Pane, and Slimline series are all some of the most advanced energy efficient options on the market.
Aside from clever names, what makes them energy efficient windows? First, the material for our windows is a bit more complex than your grandfather’s window. Our windows are made from vinyl, which makes them non-conductors. This means that even if your window is exposed to the sun, its temperature will not increase. If the window’s temperature doesn’t increase—neither will the home’s temperature.
How Buying New Windows Will Save You Money
When your windows can prevent hot air from coming in, and cold air from escaping, you will be shocked at how much more efficiently your AC works and at how much more affordable it is to keep your home cool on the hottest of summer days. If your HVAC is running more efficiently or running less overall, you will also increase its lifetime.
The savings from energy efficient windows don’t stop in the summer either. When the temperatures drop later in the year, their excellent design keeps the unwanted cold air out. Your home will be less susceptible to cold drafts thanks to the great design of windows like our Triple Pane series that can increase the window’s ability to maintain the desired temperature in the home by as much as 52%.
A Sound Investment
Hot weather isn’t the only thing that energy efficient windows keep out. Another fantastic perk of upgrading your windows is they will be more sound resistant. The strength, material, and number of panes in a window have a direct influence on how much sound enters the home too. By using two or more panes of glass, our windows create more barriers for the barking dog, beginning violinist, or early morning lawn mower sounds to infiltrate the peace and quiet of your home.
Do It For the Furniture
We know that UV rays can have a terrible impact on our skin, but they also work against the things in our home. An often overlooked impact of installing energy efficient windows is that they can help keep your furniture, walls, and flooring looking new too. In homes with older windows, whatever is hit with direct sunlight gradually begins to fade over time.
Even with blinds or curtains being used regularly to keep sun out of the home, most areas near windows will still age more quickly than those that are not exposed. Instead of constantly checking that curtains are pulled tight and blinds are drawn to keep the rays out, let the UV protection from the Energy Star windows protect the inside of your home.
No More Ugly, Dirty Windows
The dual pane design also helps to keep our windows looking cleaner, longer. Newer, energy efficient windows also keep condensation out. Without condensation, the windows stay clear and prevent mold from growing.
Save Green and be Green
Energy efficiency windows like ours can save you up to 12% on utilities and cut down on your carbon footprint. With new windows in place, your AC will not work as hard or often—using far less energy than before.
Our AirCell windows are made from 100% recyclable material, which means that even when they’re replaced many years from now—they’re still environmentally friendly.
