Reducing Energy Costs With Thermally Efficient Windows

Many homeowners pour money into purchasing energy-efficient appliances in the hopes of reducing their energy bills. Old, dilapidated windows, however, are often overlooked. In a recent study, researchers found out that window drafts can result in a 10-25% increase in your energy bills.

Fortunately, Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania offers thermally efficient patio doors and replacement windows. Read on to learn how our products can help minimize your energy bills.

Glass

Low-emissivity glass is one of the most important developments in modern windows. This type of glass can block ultraviolet rays and prevent heat gain, allowing you to enjoy a more comfortable indoor temperature without relying too much on your HVAC system.

At Renewal by Andersen, we offer a High-Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass upgrade for our replacement windows and hinged French doors. This glass is designed for superior thermal control that is similar to tinted glass, without tarnishing the view.

Frames

Wood windows can help insulate your home, but they need loads of maintenance and are susceptible to rot. Renewal by Andersen offers a better alternative in the form of Fibrex® window frames, which combine the excellent insulation of wood and the low-maintenance nature of vinyl. Investing in our replacement windows can help you get the best of both worlds.

Double-Pane Design

When it comes to windows, two glass panes are always better than one. Dual-pane glass can help keep your home more comfortable and reduce your home’s energy consumption.

Rely on Renewal by Andersen of Central Pennsylvania for your window replacement needs. Apart from windows, we also offer sliding contemporary doors and other door styles with energy-efficient features. Call us today at (717) 306-9448 or fill out our online form to schedule an appointment. We serve residents of State College and Reading, PA.
