Going Green: How a Window Replacement Can Help

You would be hard-pressed to find a home improvement project that will have more impact on your home’s visual appeal as well as energy efficiency than replacing your outdated windows. It is no secret that old windows have the ability to heat up your entire home and turn it into an oven, especially during the summer. In the winter, you have the opposite problem: freezing living spaces due to pesky drafts. In today’s post, we explain how a window replacement can lower your utility bills, allowing you to save money and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time.

Energy Savings

According to recent data, outdated windows could be responsible for up to 30% of your home’s heating and cooling costs. That’s a lot of wasted energy. By upgrading to high-performance sliding windows, casement windows or any modern type of windows offered by Renewal by Andersen® of Montana, you could be looking at a significant reduction in your monthly energy bill.

You can also pair your energy-efficient windows with passive solar heating, natural lighting and thermal mass, making use of free energy from the sun to further increase your savings.

Andersen’s Fibrex® Material

If you want to take “going green” a step further, then there is no better option than Andersen’s Fibrex® material. 40% of the raw material used to make Fibrex material is clean, reclaimed wood fiber. All our windows are also ENERGY STAR-approved which means they have passed the strictest energy-efficiency criteria set forth by the U.S. Department of Energy.
