Tired of Paying High Utility Bills? Save Money with Replacement Windows

You can save up to $465 a year by using Energy Star certified windows! That’s right! By choosing the right kind of home window replacements for your Sacramento home, your energy bills will drop drastically. You simply need to understand the different kinds of window styles and features to choose from.

Three types of window styles for you to consider include:

  • Double Hung Windows
  • Sliding Windows
  • Casement Windows

How Double Hung Windows Can Save You Money

Window replacement professionals in Sacramento agree: double hung windows are a great choice for energy efficiency.

Some of their features include:

  • Easy access for cleaning
  • Traditional look
  • Conveniently fit into most window spaces

If you decide on double hung windows for your Yolo County home, you want to make sure they are Energy Star certified. Energy Star is a government agency that verifies for consumers like you whether a product is energy efficient and good for the environment.

How Sliding Windows Can Save You Money

Sliding windows are double paned windows that slide back and forth on a grid. According to studies by Energy Star, switching from a single pane window to a double pane window can save you up to $111 a year on your energy bills.

Double pane glass is a preferred window replacement because the outside protects your home from external conditions. In between the inside panel of glass is a pocket of air that widens the gap between the outside panel and the inside panel. The result is a more controlled temperature in your home.

Sliding windows also have a number of great home benefits, including saving you space. Our Sacramento window replacement specialists at California Energy Consultant Service often install these windows in the following areas of your home:

  • Patios
  • Decks
  • Walkways

Sliding windows are also a preferred choice of Sacramento homeowners because they have a wide choice of designs.

These styles include:

  • Victorian
  • Colonial
  • Queen Anne

With sliding windows you get both savings and style in one!

How Casement Windows Can Save You Money

Casement windows are crank operated and give you an unobstructed view because they do not have internal siding.  But what is really great about these windows is the low-E coating on their glass.

Low-E stands for low-emissivity. In other words, the special spray applied to these glass panes prevent heat or cool air from seeping out of the interior of your home. This low-E feature on casement windows ensures you don’t have to increase your heat or air-conditioning due to loss of temperature.

Some popular types of casement windows include:

  • Simonton Vinyl Windows
  • Marvin Casement Windows

Sacramento home window replacement  professionals recommend any of these three types of windows. They’re especially great picks if you’re looking to save money on your energy bills. These three windows come with all the great energy saving features like double-pane glass, Energy Star certified, and low-E coated glass.
