Changing your windows will help improve your property’s energy efficiency and lessen the demands on your HVAC system. Make it a point to have a window inspection to learn if you need to replace your windows to reduce your energy consumption. In this post, Hinkle Roofing enumerates the benefits of energy-efficient windows.
Improved Energy Efficiency
New windows introduce better energy efficiency to your home. If your new window has double-pane glass with low-emissivity coating, you can improve indoor comfort and reduce energy consumption. Using energy-efficient windows means your HVAC won’t have to work as hard to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
Comfortable Indoor Environments
Keep your indoors comfortable and maintain a stable temperature in your living spaces by preventing outside air from entering your home.
Reduced Humidity
Condensation occurs due to high humidity levels indoors. Energy-efficient windows typically have spacers that can handle expansion and contraction in hot and cold weather. This feature helps reduce condensation buildup and keeps your interior dry and comfortable.
Enhanced Lighting
Old window grilles might limit or introduce odd lighting in various parts of your home. Meanwhile, new windows without grilles can provide plenty of natural light to any room in your home. If your new windows also have a low U-value and solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), they can reduce the amount of heat entering your home.
Reduced Fading
Old window glass does not have a low-emissivity coating that filters UV light, which can damage furniture over time. With new windows, their low-emissivity coated glass will reduce the UV light entering your home, reducing color fading in your furniture.
