Energy-Efficient Windows: Are They Worth It?

Cozy living room with large fiberglass windows.

Did you know you can save an average of 12% on your utility bills by opting for energy-efficient windows?

That can mean a savings of between $200 and $600 yearly, depending on the windows you choose and your local climate. Because energy-efficient windows are made with materials that reduce heat exchange and air leaks, you don’t need as much energy to heat or cool your home, even during Arizona’s hottest days. They also help protect your health and the environment.

In our book, installing new energy-efficient windows in your home is a terrific option for cutting costs and improving indoor comfort levels. Open Enclose offers top-quality window installation, replacement, and repair services that are a cost-effective way to keep your home comfortably cool or warm all year long.

 

Benefits of Energy-Efficient Windows in Arizona Homes

Installing ENERGY STAR® windows in your home provides numerous benefits, including:

  • Improved indoor comfort and temperature regulation to enhance comfort.
  • Increased home value and resale appeal.
  • Environmental plusses like reducing your home’s carbon footprint and contributing to sustainability efforts.
  • Potential tax credits and rebates that offset the initial investment.

If you want to be a part of a clean energy future while saving money at the same time, upgrading to energy-efficient windows is a great place to start.

Energy-Efficient Window Installation Process

Professional window installation performed by Open Enclosure’s skilled team ensures the job’s done correctly, safely, and to a standard that supports the performance and durability of the windows, all while adhering to necessary legal and warranty requirements.

Our step-by-step installation process includes:

  • Walking you through the entire project.
  • Adhering to safety and cleanliness measures to keep your home as clean as possible.
  • Removing windows either section by section or room by room.
  • Installing new windows in their place to avoid leaving the house wide open.
  • Finishing touches like caulk, weather sealing, and removing the glass’s protective film.

You can help speed the installation process by trimming all shrubs and bushes around existing windows, moving furniture away from windows, and removing all blinds, curtains, drapes, and other window treatments.

Energy-Efficient Window Repair Process

Common window issues requiring repair include:

  • Drafts
  • Leaks
  • Condensation
  • Cracked panes
  • Malfunctioning hardware

Timely repair of these and other problems is critical for maintaining energy efficiency, preventing further damage, and saving money. The window repair process typically involves assessing damage, selecting appropriate materials, and making repairs to restore function and insulation properties.

Neglecting issues with windows or other energy-efficient components can lead to a gradual decline in performance, ultimately costing you more in the long run through higher utility bills and potential structural damage.

Proactive maintenance and prompt repairs are essential for maximizing the benefits of any energy-efficient home improvement.

Energy-Efficient Window Replacement Process

Signs your windows need replacement include:

  • Persistent drafts
  • Condensation between panes
  • Difficulty operating
  • Visible decay

Replacing inefficient windows includes removing the old windows, preparing the frame, installing new windows, and ensuring airtight sealing.
