If you are considering replacing the windows in your Dayton, OH home, you might be wondering if the investment is truly worth it. Replacement windows can have a huge impact on the energy-efficiency and overall comfort of your home. There are several ways that new windows can save you money.
Reduced Cooling Costs
As summer temperatures climb, you can realize major savings with energy-efficient windows. Replacement windows reduce the amount of solar heat that enters a home, keeping your cooling costs lower. Fortunately, the decrease in your cooling costs can now be achieved without darkening, allowing plenty of light in, during the summer months. This reduction can save you over $1500 annually, depending on the age of your windows and size of your home.
Reducing Heating Costs
During the harsh winter months, older windows that are not energy-efficient can represent a major source of unwanted heat loss. Replacement windows can reduce the amount of heat loss and air leakage, and also have warmer window surfaces that can prevent condensation. Depending on the condition of your current windows and the size of your home, the energy savings during heating season can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Additional Energy Savings
When windows are energy-efficient, the need to keep them completely covered is reduced. Replacement windows can be a great source of natural light. Filling your home with sunshine reduces the need to rely on artificial lighting, which is another cost saver. Certain windows also provide an additional cost-saving perk. By filtering the sunlight, letting light in and harmful UV rays out, your home furnishings stay protected from fading and sun damage.
Energy efficient windows are well known for their ability to keep homes comfortable while keeping energy costs manageable. The ENERGY STAR® certification ensures that replacement windows meet the high standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
