When analyzing your home for areas of improvement or repair, you may not immediately think of windows. But upgrading to energy-efficient windows is one of the easiest ways to save money on energy costs. The experienced crew at Murphy Home Improvement specialize in all types of exterior renovation, including siding, roofing, and windows. For over 30 years, they’ve been serving the greater Cincinnati area, and have seen first-hand the benefits of installing energy-efficient windows in your home.

Top 3 Benefits of Energy-Efficient Windows

1. Increased Energy Savings

Energy-efficient windows have an extra pane, which is filled with a Low-E and Argon gas mixture that creates an additional barrier between you and the outdoors. This gaseous barrier traps more heat (or cool air, if your air conditioner is running) inside the house, while simultaneously preventing your home from overheating during the day while the sun pours in. The net effect? Up to 30 percent savings on heating, and 45 percent savings on cooling. Plus, you’ll have better natural light, less window condensation, and less color draining on your furniture.

2. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal

We just mentioned how new energy-efficient windows will enhance the quality of light inside your home, but they’ll also provide a cleaner, more eye-catching exterior pop as well. Murphy Home Improvement has a wide selection of windows with different kinds of trim and style. Get creative and bring an extra ounce of character and style to your home’s exterior.

3. Easier Maintenance

Older windows made of wood frames need regular maintenance, and it only gets worse with age; as the frame contracts or expands, it results in cracking, molding, and poor protection from the elements. The innovative designs of energy-efficient windows alleviate many of these long-term issues, resulting in significantly improved sustainability. Look for features like between-glass blinds and shades, and focus on windows made of durable materials.
