10 reasons to install new windows

1. Energy Savings
Energy Efficient windows are designed to keep heat inside your home in the winter while keeping the heat out in the summer. This reduces heating and cooling costs and minimizes energy consumption

2. Cooling Season Savings
Installing new Double pane Vinyl Framed windows in an average 2000 sq ft home reduces energy usage by 32%. What if you could take 32% off your electric bill this summer?

3. Heating Season Savings
In Texas we don't worry about this too much but we have a few months out of the year that get pretty cold. By installing new windows you could reduce the draft and energy usage by up to 39%

4. Improved winter comfort
During the winter living space near windows can get uncomfortably cold. By installing energy efficient windows you create a warmer interior surface preventing these cold drafts.

5. Improved summer comfort
Ever sat next to your window in August? Gets hot huh? That heat comes not only from the poor single pane glass package but also the frame itself. Next time its 100 degrees outside just touch your existing aluminum frame. OUCH! Now multiply that by the size of your window and then add the balance of the windows in your home. Pretty shocking how much heat gets into your home just from the frame

6.Less Condensation
By installing energy efficient windows you create a warmer interior glass surface. This reduces condensation under all conditions

7.Increased Light and View
To battle heat gain most people slap on solar screens or tint the windows. Why live in a cave. You can get better results by installing new windows. With the right glass package and frame you can actually use those windows. New windows allow the light to come in while keeping the heat and cold out.

8.Protection from Ultra Violet Rays
UV rays can fade carpet, furniture and drapes. A good window can reduce UV rays by up to 75%

9. Cleaning is a breeze
Double Hung windows are easy to clean. They tilt in for cleaning. Both frames move up and down so you can have either the top open or the bottom. There are also safety latches that prevent windows from going all the way up.

10 Safety
By having a double strength double pane glass package you decrease the chances of a criminal being able to break the glass. It will at least take more time. You can also purchase a laminate glass package that keeps the glass together. Laminate glass can be struck by a baseball bat and only shatter.

Thats my 2 cents.
