Do You Want Energy Efficient Replacement Windows?

When you need to buy replacement windows in Henderson, no one is going to go into the purchase attempting to get inefficient windows. In fact, efficiency is often at the top of the list for things people want in these types of products. But you can’t get the most efficient windows unless you take certain steps, recognize the safeguards, and maintain your quality control. Here are a few tips for helping you recognize energy efficient replacement windows when you see them.

Notice The Energy Star Labels

At the very least, you want replacement windows that feature the energy star labels. Energy Star is a non-profit organization that rates and reviews certain products based on their efficiency. Efficiency isn’t a blanket thing, either. It’s based on your specific area of the country. Windows that get this label in California are different that windows that receive it in Minnesota because those regions need different elements to be considered efficient. When you see the Energy Star label, you know that product has met certain standards in your particular region. That’s a great place to start in examining replacement windows. Keep in mind that windows under that label still vary in efficiency, but you know you are least getting something efficient on a certain level.

Compare The Ratings

Once you find several window options with the Energy Star label, you’ll want to compare their labels to one another. You’ll be able to tell based on the ratings on things like U-factors, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, and other such things, which windows are more efficient. If you have trouble with reading those labels, it’s easy enough to get help from window professionals in the showrooms.

Consider Efficiency Upgrades

There are lots of things you can add to replacement windows to make them more efficient for your home. You can have triple pane glass, for example, instead of just double pane. You can have a low-E coating placed on the glass to reflect heat. And you can add inert gas fillings between the panes for further insulation. Those options are there for you to consider, depending on your budget and what you want for the outcome on the other side of the project. The more you add, the more it costs, but also the more efficiency you will get along with lower bills and further comfort.

What are the most energy efficient windows
