Save Energy with Replacement Windows

Save Energy with Replacement Windows: "All of us would jump at the chance to save up to $460 a year on our energy bill. Replacement windows may be the easiest way to lower your energy bill and keep that cash in your wallet!
Windows and doors are the largest source of energy loss in your home. As much as 46 percent of heat is lost through your windows and doors and up to 50 percent of unwanted heat gain happens through your windows. According to ENERGY STAR, new double pane glass windows can save you $126 to $465 a year and new single pane windows can save $27 to $111 a year.

At each season change you should carefully evaluate you windows . If you notice unusual frost or moisture build up on your window panes, it may be time to consider window replacement. It may also be time to buy new windows if you can feel air leaks around the windows or if you see your carpet fading where the sun shines into your home."
