How much energy will I save with new windows?

The most common question asked by people wanting new windows is, "How much will I save on my electric bill?"  An exact percentage is difficult to provide due to the different factors from house to house.

Here are a few of those factors:
1. How many windows and doors are in the home?
2. Is the home shaded by trees?
3. What direction does the home face?

These are just a few things to consider when attempting to calculate the savings.  You will definitely see a decrease in dollars that can vary from 15%-50%. Some customers have seen small savings all the way up to an incredible amount.

When windows and doors are replaced, the house is sealed up providing a reduction in electricity (or gas) consumption.  Also, a drastic increase in comfort is felt throughout the home. No more melting in the west-facing kitchen during the summer.  No more feeling the draft from leaky doors or windows while sitting on the couch watching a movie. The air conditioner will not cycle as often and the home will be much quieter. 

Just remember, although it is almost impossible to figure how much you will save on energy bills, three things you will definitely enjoy are the energy savings, a quieter, more comfortable home, and increased curb appeal!
