Windows allow sunshine to filter into your home, provide a breeze on hot days, and protect you from freezing temperatures. They aren’t something you think about every day but are an important part of everyday life. If your windows are drafty or you’ve noticed your utility bills increasing, it may be time to consider energy-efficient windows. The contractors at Modern Window of New York, Inc. in Buffalo understand that installing new windows is expensive but believe it’s a worthwhile investment.

Here are three great reasons to install energy-efficient windows:

• Save Money: If you live in a cold climate, your windows could be a source of heat loss and excess condensation. Energy-efficient windows solve these problems by sealing in heat, preventing drafts, and providing warmer window surfaces that reduce condensation. Energy efficiency means lower utility bills and more money in your wallet.

• Regulate Inside Temperatures: Energy-efficient windows utilize new glazing technology to keep the glass at a consistent temperature, eliminating the need to frequently adjust the thermostat. In cold weather, frosty windowpanes make a room feel chilly, and many people will react by turning up the heat. In summer, solar radiation warms windows and creates the urge to crank up the air conditioning. Energy-efficient windows eliminate these issues and make your home more comfortable.

• Protect Valuables: Carpets, upholstery, paint, art, and wood fade when exposed to UV rays. Some energy-efficient windows have coated glass that will reduce the radiation’s intensity, letting you protect your valuables and enjoy a bright, cheerful room.
