One Of The Most-Common Spots To Cause High-Energy Bills

Katelyn Lewis • February 21, 2023

Did you know that windows are one of the most-common places for you to lose your home’s heating?


Non-efficient windows are a common problem that can cause you to lose hundreds to thousands of dollars every year on your heating and cooling bills. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates heat gain and loss through windows are responsible for 25% to 30% of residential heating and cooling energy use.


We replaced this homeowner's wood siding and old windows with insulated vinyl and energy-efficient windows in May 2022. Check out the difference in this one corner of the home!
