Home » Save Money This Summer with New Windows

As the summer months approach, so does an increase in your energy bill. You want to stay cool but not break the bank at the same time. It may be time to look at new windows to save on energy. Installing new windows may be the answer to your energy costs both in the summer and in the winter. At Rusco, we understand the importance of having efficient, cost-effective home solutions, and windows are a key part of that.

Why Replace Your Windows?

Older windows are inefficient, allowing drafts in and cool air out. This forces your air conditioning system to work harder, which means you pay more in power bills and strain your HVAC system, which can lead to a much costlier repair. 

Modern windows provide better insulation and come with low-emissivity (low-E) glass. This type of glass reflects infrared light, keeping heat inside during winter and outside during summer. Less energy is needed to heat or cool your home, thereby reducing your utility bills.

Types of Windows That Can Help You Save

At Rusco, we offer a variety of window types designed for form and function. We have styles for every home. Some of the options that can help maximize your home’s energy efficiency include:

Double-pane windows: These windows have two layers of glass with a gas-filled space between the panes. This lowers the transfer rate of hot and cold air.

Energy Star-certified windows meet strict criteria set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and can save up to 12% on your energy bills.

Choosing the right window type can save you money and add beauty to your home.
