What are the benefits of energy-efficient windows?

Retex installed a new roof and new windows for this North Chesterfield VA home in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

1. Lower Energy Bills: They’ll reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, decreasing your energy consumption by 12-30% compared to non-efficient windows.

2. Improved Comfort: They minimize drafts and cold spots in the winter and reduce overheating from the sun in the summer.

3. Noise Reduction: Their multi-pane glass and insulated frames help block outside noise, making your home quieter.

4. UV Protection: Their low-E coatings reduce fading of furniture, carpets, and artwork by blocking harmful UV rays.

5. Increased Home Value: Energy-efficient upgrades are attractive to potential buyers and can improve your home’s resale value.

6. Environmental Benefits: Lower energy usage means reduced carbon footprint and less strain on your HVAC systems.

7. Condensation Reduction: Insulated glass helps prevent excess moisture buildup, reducing mold and mildew risks.
