How New Windows Save You Money Every Month
Nov 14, 2023

If you have older windows, you may be spending more on your heating or cooling costs every month due to them. Upgrading to new windows, such as Milgard windows, can help you to save money every month. However, many homeowners have no idea how and why windows are so important for lowering bills. Here's more information about how windows save you energy and money.


Older Windows Leak Energy


A lot of energy is lost due to old or damaged windows. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, the heat gained and lost through windows is estimated to be responsible for anywhere from 25% to 30% of all residential heating and cooling energy use. While no window is going to be able to stop all energy loss, newer windows can drastically impact the amount of loss that occurs. This can help you to save on your heating bills in the winter and your cooling bills in the summer. A window professional can do an energy loss assessment and determine how much energy may be lost through your older windows. Then, you can discuss how much energy can be saved with newer windows.


Newer Windows Provide More Options


If you want to maximize your energy savings by replacing your windows, you need to find new ones that can help you do just that. In our experience, double or triple-pane windows typically offer the best energy savings. Newer windows also have an energy rating attached to them which lets you know how well they perform. There are also Energy Star-certified windows available. When you select these windows, you know you're installing windows that have been certified as being energy-efficient. Lastly, do your research and find out how windows hold up. Some brands, such as Milgard windows, lead the market because of their energy efficiency, aesthetics, and lifespan.


There are many benefits associated with installing new windows on your home. You can increase your property value, enhance the curb appeal of your home, decrease the amount of outside noise that seeps into your home, and minimize energy loss through your windows. If you're in the market for new windows, Milgard windows may be a great option for you.
