Don’t Spend on Old Windows

According to the Department of Energy, the biggest chunk of household budgets are spent on air-conditioning and heating. It makes sense to spend only as much as you need, yet many homeowners hamper this by staying with their old windows.

A lot of people think that merely repairing their old windows is cost-effective, but the truth is quite the opposite. Old windows warp and fail to insulate your home. They let in drafts and allow expensive energy to leak. These also let in moisture, introduce too much heat, and require frequent maintenance. When these happen, it’s time to consider Connecticut replacement windows.

Energy-Efficient Windows and Savings

Where old windows fail, our windows succeed. Our replacement windows in CT are made with vinyl which doesn’t crack, rot, or warp, so maintenance expenses are kept to a minimum.

In addition, our patented Fibrex® material enables modern windows to contract and expand with your home depending on the weather. This spells superior insulation so that expensive energy stays inside your home while drafts and moisture are kept outside.

Advanced window glass technology also means that light enters your home without raising internal heat. All of these ensure that your air conditioning doesn’t work so hard, meaning you consume less energy and spend even less on your bills.
