<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">New windows are always a home improvement enhancement, as many homeowners seek to increase the energy efficiency of their home. However, there is much more to windows than energy savings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Depending on the project, there are considerations for styling. Which styles work best for you? Traditional craftsman? French country? Modern-contemporary or high-end style? Maybe a combination depending on the room?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What about locking?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The locks and latches that are integrated with certain windows and
sliding glass doors are important. Are they two stage or one stage
locks? Window opening control devices must be installed correctly to
ensure maximum safety, especially where small children are in the home. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <b>Energy Efficient Windows Save $$$ - What Do the Energy Symbols Represent?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Innovative, energy savings windows can start to pay for themselves as soon as they are installed! This is one of the strong motivations for many of our customers. In the summer, energy efficient windows will block the radiant heat from the entering your home, reducing your cooling bills. In the winter, the sun's solar heat is allowed to enter the home and keeps heat from escaping, reducing your energy costs. Argon gas can provide an additional layer of insulation between double paned windows. </span><br />

<b>What About Vinyl Windows?</b></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.75pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #363636; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
vinyl window can be inexpensive, durable and remarkably energy efficient when
designed properly to minimize thermal transfer. While early vinyl windows
had problems with thermal expansion and stability in very hot environments,
modern vinyl windows are much more durable and dimensionally stable. Look for
vinyl window frames with heat-welded joints — they're stiffer than mechanically
joined vinyl frames and thus provide better resistance to </span><span style="color: #363636; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "sans-serif";">temperature
stresses. Interior webs also strengthen the frame and improve its thermal
performance. </span></span></div>

may be tax savings. New windows can improve curb appeal and increase resale value. According to a study by Remodeling magazine and Realtor magazine, homeowners can expect to recoup about 93% for vinyl or wood window replacement.</span><br />

<br />
1) Windows: <br />
The average annual savings in the Northwest with changing to an Energy Star rated double pane window is $258.00 . Single pane is $112.00 . A standard double-pane window allows approximately 75 percent of the sun’s heat into your home.
With ENERGY STAR qualified windows you can stay cool all summer long.
Most ENERGY STAR qualified windows reduce the “heat gain” into your home
more than typical windows do, without reducing the visible light. You
get the light you need without the uncomfortable heat.<br />
<br />
2) Open windows at night, close in morning. Close your shades, blinds, and drapes to help block the sun's radiant energy, <br />
<br />
3) Thermostat - set it to 78 degrees for air conditioning. Each degree up or down can make a difference in your utility bill.<br />
<br />
4) Ceiling Fans - use them to help circulate cooler air. Turn them off when you are away. A ceiling fan can reduce costs up to 14% with only a 2 degree increase in the thermostat<br />
<br />
5) Fill Up Your Frig - a full refrigerator keeps it from warming up more slowly than an empty one and uses less energy to stay cool after opening.<br />
<br />
6) Use energy savings light bulbs - in addition to lowering the electric bill, they produce 75% less heat than incandescent bulbs.<br />
<br />
7) Have a attic inspection by a contractor to maximize insulation. If every American
household did so, we would collectively save more than $1.8
billion in yearly energy costs.<br />
<br />
8) Have fun and save - avoid using the oven and grill / cook outside. How cool is that ?<br />
<br />
9) Use the bathroom fan to remove the heat and humidity from your home
after showering or bathing. Make sure bathroom and kitchen fans are
vented to the outside and not just to the attic.<br />
<br />
10) Clean the lint from the clothes dryer after every load. Run full loads
and use the moisture-sensing setting. This will help save 5 percent on
your electric bill.<br />
