Boost Your Home’s Energy Efficiency Through Windows

October 30, 2017 by Phillip Isaacs

Many aspects of the home contribute to its overall energy efficiency. From the roof to the door, homeowners will have to consider their choice of materials to rack up their savings. However, windows have one of the most significant effects on energy bills. Here’s a look at the crucial role they play in your home’s energy efficiency.

Sunlight Intrusion

While it’s true that having ample natural lighting can boost your home’s overall value, too much of it can also affect energy efficiency in an adverse way. You can negate this by utilizing high-performance windows so when sunlight penetrates your windows, its resultant heat stays outdoors.

These days, window manufacturers place U-values on their windows, a rating of its insulative value. This figure can give homeowners an idea of how easily heat can pass through the glass—the lower the U-value, the better.

Air Leakage

Proper insulation is one of the most common reasons for window replacement procedures. The more outside air invades your home, the more you’ll have to rely on your HVAC system to keep your interior at optimum temperature levels. Your choice of windows helps lessen this burden.
