Heat Wave-Are Your Windows Helping or Hurting?

For the next week, we'll see temperatures in the 90's and even up to 100 by this Thursday! That's right, it's August in Atlanta. And as if the many smog alerts, weren't enough to make you want to stay indoors, our recent heat wave may be enough to make Atlantans take up permanent residence in their air conditioned residences.

Believe it our not, energy effcient replacement windows can do a lot to help keep your home cool in the summer time. Why is that? Because all replacement windows today are insulated with a low-e (low emissivity) coating that keeps heat from passing through the glass in your windows.

Clear glass windows, even in a double paned window, have a very low heat resistance and allow heat to pass freely into your home in the summer. Thus, cooling costs go through the roof as your system tries to counter the heat that pours into your home.

That's why replacement windows are such a smart choice when looking for ways to beat the heat of Atlanta's summertime. Installing energy efficient replacement windows can increase your energy efficiency up to 10 times what you may have now!

Atlanta Area Window and Door Co will be glad to see that you get properly installed, energy efficient replacement windows to help keep your home very cool this summer.
