Why Windows Play a Key Role in Efficiency

Why are Your Windows so Important?

There are many reasons why your windows are a vital piece to the overall comfort of your home. Both, heat retention and energy efficiency are major factors to consider when window shopping (pardon the pun).

Heat Retention: While you may love the way that large windows bring in natural light and improve the view from inside your room, windows are often the most common place for heat to leak out. The last thing you want is to lose your indoor heat through leaky windows, so investing in high quality windows will allow for both beauty and heat retention.

Energy Efficiency: This point aligns closely with the previous one, because leaky windows means higher energy use, to make up for the lost heat. When you’re looking for new windows, always keep the U-value in mind. This is a measurement of how insulated your windows are, with a lower U-value indicating better insulation.
