Smart Home Upgrades that Improve Energy Efficiency
April 27, 2016The exterior parts of your home, such as windows and doors, can significantly contribute to air leakage when not maintained properly. Older windows and doors with failed sealing and weatherstripping can also result in energy loss.
Window & Door Upgrades
As your local expert for door and replacement windows, we want to help you improve the energy efficiency of your home through quality products. Here’s how our windows and doors do that:
Windows
Our replacement windows from Renewal by Andersen® are among the most sought-after products at Huff ‘N Puff. Renewal by Andersen windows have Fibrex® and High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass that increase the energy savings in a home. Fibrex combines the stability and strength of wood with the maintenance ease of vinyl. With our exclusive frames, your windows are made more durable, sustainable, and beautiful. Our window frames are also sealed tightly for better performance.
In addition to Fibrex, our replacement windows have High-Performance Low-E4 glass selections that add to the energy efficiency of the structure. High-Performance Low-E4 SmartSun™ glass, for one, is 70% more efficient in summer and 56% in winter compared with regular glass. With our replacement windows, homeowners can look forward to more energy savings and a more comfortable home.
Doors
Aside from a window replacement, replacing your old doors could also help improve your home’s energy efficiency. Our Renewal by Andersen patio doors and ProVia® entry doors have outstanding features that enhance home performance. Renewal by Andersen’s hinged and sliding patio doors have multipoint locking for security. They also come in a variety of interior and exterior finishes.
Additionally, Renewal by Andersen’s patio doors have energy-efficient, Low-E glazing systems that offer maximum energy efficiency. ProVia entry doors, on the other hand, are designed for optimum performance. These energy-efficient doors have double and triple-pane glazing systems that ensure protection and comfort indoors. Aside from ProVia entry doors, we also install their storm doors. These storm doors have a triple-sealed bottom that prevents air infiltration.
