Savings on Your Electric Bill
After installing energy-saving windows, you’ll notice an immediate change in your electric bill and it will have you ecstatic. Residents who replace single-pane windows with EnergyStar rated windows report saving over $200 a year. Double pane window replacement still produces a reported savings of around $125 per year. Who wouldn’t love to say a little more on their electric bill every month?
No More Frozen Windows
Freezing Michigan winters are not only dangerous for you and your pets, they can be dangerous for your homes. Subzero temperatures can cause old windows to freeze over and create a layer of ice on the inside. When the temperatures outside drop or the inside of your home heats up, the ice will begin to melt. This water ends up all of over your windowsill which leads to damage and mold. Energy saving windows do not freeze over.
Improved Lighting
In an effort to reduce the heat in homes, many older windows were often tinted or covered in some sort of film. This can cause the inside of your home to look dark and dreary. For many who have lived with their old windows for so long, replacing with new energy saving windows is a remarkable enlightenment. Energy saving windows are covered with a special coating that has all the heat reducing properties of the old tinted windows without the tint that darkens the inside of your home.
