So before you purchase any of the above three window styles for your Sacramento home, make sure you know about the energy saving features they come with.

What are Dual Paned Windows?

Certain windows are made with a single pane of glass, while others are made with two panes of glass. A window with two panes of glass is known as a dual paned window. Dual paned windows are the best kinds of windows when it comes to energy efficacy.

Dual paned windows block out cold or hot air and maintain temperatures in your Sacramento home far better than single pane windows. That is because these windows have an air pocket between the two panes of glass. These pockets acts like a buffer between the temperatures indoors and outdoors, which ensures your home is energy efficient, and you’re spared from the hassle of installing plastic sheeting or storm windows.

What is Low E-Glass? 

Low-e stands for low-emissivity. This type of glass is coated with a special sealant that gives your window’s glass extra insulation. Replacement windows that are not made with low-e are susceptible to cold and hot air seeping through them. When outside temperatures can penetrate your home, you’re forced to raise the heat or turn on the air-conditioning. As a result, your energy bills go up.

What Make Something Energy Star Certified?

You want to find a replacement window that is Energy Star certified. This is a certification given by the government for products they believe are energy efficient. Energy Star certified windows are known to save Sacramento homeowners money and are good for the environment.

In fact, Energy Star says their certified windows will save you the following:

• $126 to $465 a year on your energy bills
• $27 to $111 if you switch from single pane windows to double pane windows
