Energy Conscious Remodeling

Old windows may account for 25-50% of a home or buildings net energy loss.  Modern windows, with argon gas and special glazings may actually produce a net energy gain in a home or building by reducing heat loss in the winter; and minimizing passive solar heat gain in the summer, thereby increasing your cooling systems efficiency.  Getting the proper windows, and having them installed properly is paramount to realize this energy and money saving potential.  The proper windows, installed correctly, will truly "pay for themselves" in the long-term.  Quality new windows can also reduce condensation buildup, lessen carpet and furniture fabric fading due to sunlight, reduce the run-cycle, and thereby increase the longevity of heating and cooling systems, reduce drafts and improve comfort, and have a generally improved aesthetic value while increasing the value of your home or property.  When you see a billboard add for new windows installed for $169 each, you can bet you aren't getting any of the above.  If you are thinking about new windows in 2010 while the energy-tax credit is still available, contact us today for a free consultation.
