Energy-Efficiency through Window Replacement
One low-cost way to increase the energy efficiency of your home is to replace old, broken, or single-pane windows. Heat loss through cracks, broken seals, or inefficient single-layered glass can make an impact on your energy bills. Older homes typically have single-pane windows that were installed years ago. These single-pane windows only have one layer of glass, rather than the newer double- or triple-pane options. Single-pane windows are inefficient and cannot hold heat. Whereas their newer counterparts have multiple layers of glass with gaps in between that can trap heat and better insulate your home.
You will notice a difference in upgrading to new double- or triple-pane glass windows. New energy-efficient replacement windows will help even older homes retain heat better and more efficiently than the old windows. Other options, such as argon gas filling, Low-E coating, and special frame materials can also boost the efficiency of your new replacement windows.

Energy-Efficient Window Options
Energy-efficiency is not defined by one look or style of windows. You can choose from a wide range of window styles that have energy-efficiency options. At A Pane in the Glass Construction, we offer multiple styles of windows to get just the right look for your older or newly updated home. Replace your old windows with new Picture Windows, Single- or Double-Hung Windows, Casement Windows, Slider Windows, Bay or Bow Windows, and more! Frame materials and colors can be chosen, as well as grid styles, sizes, and trim. You can get just the right style and fit to complement your home.
Benefits of Energy-Efficient Windows
Other benefits in upgrading to new replacement windows are tax breaks and added value for your home. You can receive up to $200 in tax breaks for qualifying energy-efficient windows. On top of that, new energy-efficient windows can add value to your home, especially if you are preparing to place it on the market in the spring. New replacement windows will also make your home easier to maintain and keep cozy.
