Old windows can cause your energy expenses to spike through air leaks and high heat transfer rates. These issues cause your heating and cooling systems to work harder, leading to higher energy bills. Fortunately, window replacement can help.

Today, V. Nanfito Roofing & Siding discusses how replacing your windows can help reduce your monthly energy bills.

How Much You Can Save Monthly by Replacing Your Windows

How Much You’ll Save

How much you’ll save on energy after replacing your windows depends on a few factors. The quality of the replacement windows and whether or not the installation was done properly will have a huge impact. Speaking generally, studies show that households in the northeast region of the United States can save over $400 on average when they replace their single-pane windows with double-hung windows. 

If you’re replacing clear-glass, double-pane windows, you can expect to save around $90. This isn’t a small amount as after a five-year period, this means you’ve saved more than $2100.

What to Look for When Replacing Your Windows

First, look at the air leakage rating of the unit, which determines how much air can enter your home through the window. Next, look for the U-Factor, which measures how well your window can keep heat from escaping your home, making it useful during the winter. 

Finally, pay attention to the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC), which shows how well a product resists unwanted heat gain, which is important during the summer. For all three of these requirements, you want the lowest numbers possible.
