Energy Star Windows Will Protect Your Home provided by ServiceMagic.com.
The Energy Star rating signifies that the product will use less energy than products without the rating. Most people have seen the Energy Star label on washing machines, dishwashers, and water heaters, but many people don't realize that Energy Star windows can save a significant amount of money while protecting your home from sun damage.
Saving Money with Energy Star
Many are bothered by products and ideas that are considered "Green". But recently, Green products have shown their value by out performing other products while saving large sums of money. Equipping a home throughout with Energy Star rated products can save $1000 a year, and in some cases more than that.
Energy Star rated windows can save a home as much as $350/year if the home had single-paned windows, and $70/year if already equipped with double-paned windows. This amount is what can be saved each year, not just over the lifetime of the windows.
Sun Damaged Floors and Sun Damaged Furniture
Typical windows don't offer any protection from the sun's brutal rays, and if you live in an area of the country where the sun is particularly intense, you most likely have noticed the color has faded on your hardwood floors, carpets, walls, and even furniture.
Energy Star windows can come with a film or tinting that can block those fading rays by up to 75%, while still allowing sunlight and heat to enter. On top of protecting your home's interior from fading, these windows also buffer the heat that is allowed to come through, making your home a comfortable place to be year round.
Many homes in the southern regions of the United States have to use blinds most of the day, on both sides of the house, to protect their home's interior from the sun damage and the heat. Energy Star Windows will block 75% of the potential sun damage. These windows give the freedom for homeowners to enjoy the outdoor view without paying the price of too much light and heat.
