Do New Windows Really Save Energy?

According to Energy Star 6.0, installing energy-efficient replacement windows on your home can lead to significant savings, both in terms of your overall energy consumption and corresponding energy expenses. For the average home, when replacing single-pane windows with Energy Star 6.0-rated windows, you can expect to save anywhere from $126 to $465 per year. When replacing double-hung windows, this number is a bit lower, but you can still expect to save between $27 and $111 over the course of a year. Generally speaking, colder climates such as the Pacific Northwest and New England see the highest amount of energy savings from replacement windows, while southern California sees the least.

However, aside from your direct, out-of-pocket energy costs, buying new windows from a company that uses sustainable manufacturing techniques such as low emission or a higher percentage of recycled material can also be a supplementary way to contribute to lower levels of energy consumption. Many homeowners who are concerned about reducing the size of their overall carbon footprint have made it a priority to choose replacement windows that are sustainably manufactured in order to have an even bigger positive impact on the environment.

American Home Design has been so wonderful! Even after having our system for 6 months now, they still follow up with us to make sure we are still happy with our system to make sure everything is still working properly. I’ve never had anyone from any company stay in contact like that to make sure we are satisfied.

American Home Design was fantastic! They were personable and professional at the same time, cleaned up any mess left over from the work done, and was super accommodating. We will definitely be calling them for any future bathroom remodel needs!
