The idea of energy-saving window design has been around since the early 20th century with the first double-pane windows in the 1930s. So, it's likely that your home already has older windows with energy-efficient features already installed.
But, you may be wondering whether it's worth getting replacement energy-efficient windows. If your current windows are still functional and the glass isn't broken it may be hard to see the benefit of such a big investment.
Why Get New Window Installation if Your Windows Aren't Broken?
Your existing window glass may still be intact, but that doesn't mean the windows are still functional.
Let us explain.
Windows have a lot of seals and thermal barriers inside to block heat loss from your home. These seals can fail over time. Even thermal insulation made from foam and other materials can degrade.
When these components of the window start failing, they allow more air and heat energy to pass through the window, essentially exposing your home to sudden temperature changes and humidity. You may even have noticed that your home seems to heat up faster and cool more quickly, despite using the HVAC system a lot.
Updating your with new window installation is the first step to improving your family's comfort and reducing your heating and cooling bills.
