Energy efficient windows lead to lower energy bills.

Spring has finally sprung in Baltimore after one of the harshest winters in recent memory. Snow, snow, and more snow. And did we mention snow? Well that is all in the past (thankfully). Spring is here. The flowers are in bloom, the birds are chirping, and the temperature is quickly rising. In fact, we have already had several days in the 80s. Summer will be here before you know it. Are you ready? More importantly, is your home ready?

There is so much you can do to improve the energy efficiency of your home: add attic insulation, add weather stripping to doors, have your HVAC system inspected and serviced by a professional, and so much more. Still, one of the best ways to improve the efficiency of your home, and thus save you money on your monthly energy bills, is to upgrade to Energy Efficient Windows.

Spring in Baltimore is the Time to Consider Energy Efficient Windows

If your windows are old and outdated, as much as 18% of the energy you’re paying for is being lost through the windows. Whoa! Replacing your old, single-pane glass windows with new ENERGY STAR qualified, energy efficient windows could save you anywhere from $125-$450 annually. These windows pay for themselves over time.

Factors to consider when shopping for new windows:

1. The U-Factor tells you how well the window insulates. The lower the U-factor, the better. U-factor values generally range from 0.25 to 1.25 and are measured in Btu/h·ft²·°F.
2. Low-E is an invisible metallic coating on the glass designed to reflect infrared light. This keeps heat inside when you want it and outside when you don’t.
3. The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient measures the fraction of solar energy transmitted and how well the window blocks heat caused by sunlight. Solar heat gain is measured on a scale of 0 to 1.
