Are Drafty Windows Costing You More Than You Think?

New replacement windows and doors may seem like a big expense at first, but when you account for the cost savings they may turn out to be one of the smartest investments you can make in your home.  Inefficient windows leak heat and it doesn't help when you're dealing with a Winnipeg winter!

Windows are one of your biggest heat losses

Your old, drafty windows may turn out to be the single biggest loss of heat in your home. Old, energy inefficient windows can account for 30% or more of the total heat loss in your home! This is especially true for wood or aluminum frames and single or dual pane windows. We all know the feeling of shivering as you walk by an old window, so this does make sense.

What can I do about it?

The best solution is getting new, energy-efficient windows for your home. The best option for reducing heat loss are triple pane windows with Low-E coatings and argon gas, but dual pane options also work very well. Having new windows installed also has many benefits beyond just the energy-efficient design. New installation also helps keep the heat in - which is why having a trusted, experienced installer is so important. A new window is only as good as its installation.

How much can I really save?

New energy-efficient windows can reduce energy costs by 30% or more - depending on the size of your home this could be a savings of hundreds of dollars a month! When you factor in the increased home value it becomes clear why new windows and doors aren't just a luxury, but a true investment in your home.
