Windows are more than just a way to enjoy the view; they play a critical role in your home’s energy efficiency. In fact, poorly performing windows can account for up to 30% of energy loss in your home. Let’s explore how windows impact energy efficiency and how Renewal by Andersen can help you save money and stay comfortable.
The Role of Windows in Energy Efficiency
Windows are a key component of your home’s thermal makeup. They can either prevent or contribute to heat loss and gain, depending on their quality and performance. Energy-efficient windows help regulate indoor temperatures by reducing heat transfer.
