With rising energy and fuel prices, energy efficiency in your home is more important than ever. As a result, when homeowners need to replace windows for any reason, I strongly advise them to choose energy-efficient replacement aluminium windows. Aluminum replacement windows can have a significant impact on the cost of heating and cooling a home.
Of course, I understand that everyone desires a beautiful home. Yes, more energy-efficient windows aren't always the most visually appealing option, and they're also more expensive upfront than other options. However, the overall savings in energy costs over the lifetime of these windows will more than cover your investment. Keep in mind that you will only be charged the price.
Lowering your heating and cooling bills isn't the only advantage of installing aluminium replacement windows. Jan Fenhaus of Eugene, Oregon, added a wood-framed window extension to her ranch-style home in 1989.
"I developed multiple chemical sensitivities since then," she writes (MCS). My life was miserable because I became very ill and was unable to work. While researching MCS after many months of suffering, I discovered that the wood frames of the new windows had been treated with water repellants and fungicidal chemicals that some people react to. I obtained a home equity loan and had all of the wood windows removed from the house. They were replaced with new aluminium windows, which were recommended to me as the best for sensitive people.
Consider why you want to replace your windows. Is it because your old windows are draughty and let in a lot of outside air? If the decision to replace is based on energy consumption, it would be a mistake not to look for the most energy efficient windows available.
