Are you tired of opening your power bill and feeling a pit in your stomach? You aren’t alone. Energy costs have been going up for a long time, and many families are looking for ways to save money.
While you might try to turn off the lights or adjust the thermostat, the real problem could be your windows. If your windows are old or leaky, you are basically throwing your hard earned money right out the window. If you want to stop the waste, a new residential window installation might be the best move for your home.
Stop Losing Your Heated or Cooled Air
Old windows are often made with just one pane of glass. This means heat can easily move through them. In the winter, your expensive heat leaks out. In the summer, the hot sun pours in. This forces your air conditioner to work much harder than it needs to.
Newer windows are built with technology that acts like a blanket for your home. They help keep the temperature steady inside, no matter what it looks like outside. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, replacing old windows can save you a lot of money on your yearly heating and cooling costs.
End the Drafts and Air Leaks
If you feel a breeze when you walk past a closed window, you have an air leak. Over time, the seals and caulking around your windows can dry out or crack. When this happens, outside air seeps into your house.
This makes your rooms uncomfortable and causes your HVAC system to run all day long. Modern window installations fix these gaps. They seal your home tight so the air you pay to heat or cool actually stays inside where it belongs.
Choosing the Right Windows for Savings
Not all windows are the same. If you want the best savings, you should look for the ENERGY STAR label. Windows with this rating are tested to meet high standards for saving energy. On average, these windows can help you cut your energy bills by about 12 percent.
At WinChoice, we focus on two main things that make a window work well:
Low-E Glass and Argon Gas
Low-E glass has a very thin coating that reflects heat. It is invisible to the eye, but it works like a mirror for thermal energy. When we put this glass into a double or triple pane window and fill the space with argon gas, it creates a powerful barrier. This keeps the heat out in the summer and holds it in during the winter.
Warm Edge Spacer Technology
The frame between the panes of glass matters just as much as the glass itself. Many companies use aluminum spacers, but aluminum carries heat right into your home. We use Warm Edge Spacer Technology instead. This material doesn’t conduct heat, which can improve the temperature around your window by up to 8 degrees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I save with new windows?
Most homeowners see an average savings of about 12 percent on their energy bills when they switch to ENERGY STAR rated windows.
What is Low-E glass?
Low-E glass has a special coating that reflects heat. It helps keep your home at the right temperature by blocking the sun’s heat in the summer and keeping your heater’s warmth inside during the winter.
What does a warm edge spacer do?
A warm edge spacer sits between the glass panes. It helps stop heat from traveling through the window frame, which makes the whole window more efficient.
Will new windows make my home quieter?
Yes. Because new windows are sealed better and have multiple panes of glass, they do a great job of blocking out outside noise from cars or neighbors.
Does WinChoice offer free estimates?
Yes. We provide free consultations and estimates so you can find out exactly what your project will cost without any pressure.
