Increasing energy costs are a serious concern for many homeowners. That’s why manufacturers of home improvement products are working to make their products more energy-efficient. In the window industry, Renewal by Andersen® and other top manufacturers have developed products made from energy-efficient materials to deliver superior performance and comfort in any season. If you’re thinking of replacing your windows, here are some considerations when choosing energy-efficient replacement windows in Connecticut.
Materials
Many window materials on the market have been engineered to be exceptionally energy-efficient, such as Low-E glass that resists heat transfer, and Fibrex®, a revolutionary composite frame from Renewal by Andersen. High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass is 45% more energy-efficient during winter and 56% more efficient in summer than regular dual-pane glass. High-Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ panes are 70% more energy-efficient in summer and 47% more energy-efficient in the cold months compared with standard dual-pane glass. Fibrex® composite framing keeps heat in during the winter, and high temperatures and humidity out during the summer.
Installation
Your replacements may be made from energy-efficient materials, but if they are improperly installed, you will not be able to fully benefit from them. A poorly installed window will have gaps between the frame and the window opening that allow water and air infiltration and lead to energy loss. Renewal by Andersen’s certified installers ensure your windows perform the way they are intended to. Certified installation also gets you the deepest warranty available in the replacement window market: a fully transferable 20-2-10 Warranty for parts, labor and original installation services.
