Did you know that installing new windows helps your home’s energy performance? You can go green and improve your energy consumption just by switching your old traditional windows to newer energy-efficient windows. Here’s why.
1. Proper Insulation
Brand new windows are tightly sealed and better at keeping the conditioned temperature inside your house than your aging windows. This means your HVAC system would not be stressed and may reduce your energy bills. Your properly insulated home will be more comfortable with a consistent indoor temperature. Energy-efficient windows are also known to be durable against harmful elements. For example, Fibrex® windows are made of high-quality material, making them durable against warping and other window damage.
2. Protection Against UV Rays
Ultraviolet (UV) rays are bad when you let them inside your home. First, the heat of UV rays can destabilize your inside conditioned air. This may cause stress to your AC and may also increase your energy bill. UV rays may also fade and damage your upholstery, carpeting and walls. Energy-efficient windows have special glass that are great in protecting your home against these harmful rays. Window contractors have more information about glass barriers against UV rays. It’s best to hire a trusted window professional for your window replacements.
3. Ventilation and Health
Inefficient windows can keep stale and poor indoor air inside. Exposure to bad air is a major contributor to several health issues. To improve the air quality inside your home, ventilation should be a priority. Energy-efficient windows are great for ventilation as they help with air circulation.
