Windows fill a home with natural light and fresh air, but they can also lead to high energy bills. Drafty windows make your heating and air-conditioning units work overtime during extreme weather. This results in an uncomfortable home and unreasonably expensive bills.
When it’s time for replacement windows in your Michigan home, consider energy-efficient options from Renewal by Andersen Midwest. Not only are energy-efficient windows more environmentally friendly, but they also save homeowners money.
Options such as Renewal by Andersen’s Fibrex® windows provide style as well as superior energy-efficiency. Over time, older-model windows lose their power to keep extreme temperatures outside and climate-controlled air inside. This raises energy costs, often significantly.
Many homeowners resort to do-it-yourself window repairs, covering drafty windows with plastic and sealing air leaks with caulk. While this can provide temporary relief for high bills, it is certainly not the most attractive solution.
Well-placed windows allow natural and artificial light into dark homes. By relying on sunlight and streetlights to illuminate your home, the need for constant reliance on internal lighting is reduced, which lowers your electric costs.
Energy-efficient windows often have additional features that can save homeowners money. Renewal by Andersen’s Smart Sun® glass reduces the amount of visible light which enters your home. This keeps carpets and home furnishings from fading, which means they have to be replaced less often. Energy-efficient windows also keep moisture out, which reduces the likelihood of dangerous mold growth on walls and home furnishings.
For some homeowners, installation of energy-efficient windows leads to tax savings. Depending on the windows installed, you could be eligible for federal, state or local tax credits.
When choosing replacement windows, it’s also important to think ahead. Low-quality windows will not provide a high level of energy-efficiency, and they will also need to be repaired sooner. Fibrex® windows are twice as strong as vinyl and perform better when exposed to extreme temperatures. They also won’t fade, blister, flake or peel. These unique windows provide function, style and energy-efficiency.
