Why Choose Energy-Efficient Windows?

Energy-efficient windows offer benefits that go beyond just being kind to the planet. From reducing costs to enhancing your home’s energy efficiency and value, here’s why they’re a must-have.

Lower Energy Bills

Did you know that up to 43% of your utility bill may go toward heating and cooling your home?* Poor-performing windows are often the culprits behind heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.

Energy-efficient windows, like Renewal by Andersen® Acclaim® windows, use advanced technology to minimize energy transfer. Glass options like Low-E4® and SmartSun™ Glass optimize heating or cooling, depending on your climate. And durable materials like Fibrex® composite material double down on insulation, reducing energy loss by up to 700% compared to aluminum.

Enhanced Comfort

Ever notice cold drafts seeping in during winter or one room always feeling hotter in the summer? High-performance energy-efficient windows provide better insulation, helping eliminate drafts, hot spots, and cold zones.

Having energy-efficient windows in your home can help keep consistent indoor temperatures, which can help make your home feel more comfortable year-round. Select glass options can also keep exterior noises at bay, which can help create a quieter, more serene living space.
