From Guest Blogger Ron Robbins: Four Reasons You Should Upgrade to Eco-Friendly Windows
As a homeowner, you’ve probably realized how devastating your monthly energy bill can be, especially during the summer months. Nowadays, when energy-efficiency is the way to go, you’re probably left asking yourself what is the most cost-effective way to make upgrades to your home without putting a serious dent in your budget.
After all, for any kind of investment you make it’d be nice to not only see a dip in your monthly energy consumption but a little return on investment when it comes to reselling as well. What we recommend is taking a look from the inside out (literally) and see how replacing your windows could actually save you a ton of money.
Take a look at these top 5 reasons why you should consider upgrading your windows to something a little more energy efficient and eco-friendly. We promise you won’t regret the decision.
Reasons to upgrade – energy efficient windows
1) It’s better for the environment
As I mentioned earlier, upgrading your windows to a more energy efficient model is not only good for your monthly energy bill but it’s great for the environment as well. New and efficient windows tend to use less energy to keep your home at a comfortable temperature, which in return use fewer fossil fuels to burn electricity.
2) Reduce maintenance
Did you know eco-friendly windows tend to be made with insulated frames and warmer glass surfaces? It’s true. This small factor actually reduces (and in some instances removes) condensation. With less condensation, you decrease the chances of water dripping into your frames causing them to rot. Need another perk? How about less mold. When you have insulated windows you decrease the chances of mold growing due to condensation sitting over long periods of time.
3) Reduce outside noise
In our opinion, one of the best perks of having new windows is the reduction of outside noise coming into your home. Because of their natural tendency to have an energy-efficient coating, eco-friendly windows seal out a good majority of ambient noise such as cars driving by, sirens, or loud neighbors. The styles that work particularly well for reducing outside noise are double pane and triple pane windows.
4) To block ultraviolet rays
Over the years, ultraviolet rays can become quite harmful to not only you as a person, but to your home as well. When those ultraviolet rays enter your home through regular windows, you’ll notice things that are in direct sunlight such as your carpet, wood floors, furniture, and pretty much everything else begins to fade. To stop this, consider upgrading to energy efficient sliding windows. You’ll not only minimize the number of UV rays entering your home but protect the valuable furniture inside your home too.
Have you upgraded the windows in your home to be more energy-efficient? What kind of savings did you see on your monthly energy bill?
