Most homeowners look to replace their windows in the Fall to keep their home warm in the winter; however, replacement windows also offer benefits to your home in the summer. Energy usage often spikes during the summer months because your air conditioner is working harder to keep your home cool.
Small changes, like installing a programmable thermostat and using ceiling fans to keep temperatures cool offer temporary solutions; however, consider replacing your windows for a more long-term solution. No matter the season, replacement windows will keep your home comfortable year-round.
Why Replace Your Windows in the Summer?
Summer is a perfect time to replace your old, drafty windows with
energy efficient windows. Modern windows offer premium energy efficient features to keep the cool air inside your home. Choose from energy efficient
vinyl or
wood windows, each available in a variety of
glass options to keep your home well-insulated. Older windows often come standard with single-pane glass, leaving your home poorly insulated. Consider upgrading to
double pane or triple pane glass for better energy efficiency. For the best value, we recommend double pane windows with two panes of glass to keep your home comfortable year-round. However, if you’re looking for maximum energy efficiency, consider triple pane glass which has three panes of glass, blocking 90% of harmful UV rays.
Our window glass is also coated in two layers of Low-E silver oxide coatings for maximum energy efficiency. No matter the style you choose, all Window Nation windows are Energy Star certified,
keeping your energy bills low no matter the season.
How will Replacement Windows Help My Home?
Your air conditioner works overtime in the summer to keep your home cool – installing replacement windows will
eliminate drafts, keeping the cool air from your air conditioner inside your home. While you may enjoy the cool air in the moment, consider the impact on your energy bills. Cooling costs significantly increase in the summer, causing your energy bills to skyrocket. Replacement windows will
boost your home’s energy efficiency by eliminating drafts and protecting your home from damaging UV rays.
The benefits extend further than simply eliminating drafts. Let your air conditioner rest on cool summer nights and
open your windows – you’ll appreciate the difference turning your AC off for just a few hours will make. Be sure to keep your window coverings closed during the day to prevent the cool air from escaping.
