According to the U.S. Department of Energy, there are three different types of energy flow that occurs through a window. Non-solar heat gains and heat losses through conduction, convection and radiation. Second, solar heat gains through radiation. And the third type of energy flow, which is airflow through ventilation and infiltration. The types of radiation and solar flow through the window can be minimized by purchasing high quality windows. Airflow, however, is minimized by proper installation by an experienced window installer. Even the best of windows can be rendered useless if improperly installed. That is why we have quality, highly trained and seasoned window installation experts who know how to maximize the value of each window they install while minimizing the airflow allowed through the windows while they are closed. This not only ensures a proper installation but ultimately significant energy savings for your home.

Getting new windows installed by Home Evolution can give your home great curb appeal but also save you a significant amount of money in the long run. Having your windows properly installed by an experienced window installation contractor can help keep the cold out in the winter and the heat in the summer. Drafts coming from broken seals and old windows allow the outside air to enter your home and lower the efficiency of your insulation.

New Windows Help Improve Insulation – Better insulated as well as more airtight, replacement windows will not only improve the insulation on your home as well as the noise pollution from the outside. Low-E coatings can block up to 98% of the ultraviolet radiation emitted from the sun. This radiation causes carpeting, flooring, window treatments and furniture to fade and wear faster.

Improved Indoor Air Quality – High-performance windows tend have an air tightness rating of 0.2cfm/ft or less, which helps to reduce the amount of air drafts entering the home. Air leaks can bring in dust, dirt as well as other air impurities that can affect the air quality on the interior of the home.

Maintenance Free – New vinyl windows do not require painting and have a great moisture resistance. Since the color is added directly into the vinyl substrate, there will be no color deterioration over time.

Better Durability – Better constructed windows with better materials, combined with improved technology can result in stronger, easier to use, and longer lasting windows.

Improved Comfort – New windows reduce conductive heat gains and losses, resulting in warmer interiors during the winter and cooler interiors during the summer. Inside of the home, approximately 40% of our physical comfort is due to the radiant heat exchange between our bodies and the surrounding interior surfaces. New windows reduce this radiant exchange.

Lower Energy Bills – Installing energy efficient windows is one of the quickest ways to lower utility costs. New replacement windows will keep your home protected as well as provide you with a comfortable environment to live in.

If your windows are starting to show clear signs of failure, it’s time to call Home Evolution to replace them. Some signs of failure include accumulating moisture on the window panes, cracked/broken glass, the exterior is chipped or faded or the window no longer opens and closes properly. Many older windows that were installed may have also been painted with lead paint. If this is the case, it becomes harmful to your health if the paint begins to chip and flake off off the window.

Whether the style of your home is traditional, contemporary, split level, colonial, or cape cod, you will find just the right windows for your architectural style. Choose from single or double hung, casement, bay or bow, sliding windows and patio doors. You can even add dramatic flare to your home with uniquely-shaped custom windows. If the windows are not stocked locally in the Albany area, they can be ordered in. Is it time for you to get new windows? Check out our window replacement blog post here.
