The Efficiency Edge of New Windows
Modern windows and doors are leaps and bounds ahead of their predecessors. The windows we carry at Next Generation Window and Doors are designed with advanced features that enhance their energy efficiency significantly, keeping you and your family more comfortable while also lowering your energy bills. One key improvement in the design of modern windows is the use of double or triple-pane glass, which creates an insulating air gap between the panes. This reduces heat transfer, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Additionally, our energy-efficient windows feature low-emissivity (low-E) coatings that reflect heat back into the house, further reducing heat loss. By incorporating these advanced technologies, new windows offer superior energy efficiency, resulting in reduced energy consumption, lower utility bills, and a more comfortable living environment.

Signs That You Have Drafty Windows
Drafty windows can be a major source of discomfort in your home because they cause a tremendous amount of heat loss in colder months. Even in warmer months, they simply do not keep the heat out either, which means that drafty windows have the potential to make your home uncomfortable year-round! There are few visible signs that your windows are drafty such as gaps around the edges of your window frames and condensation on the inside of the glass. Some other tell-tale signs of drafty windows are noticeable drafts, difficulty maintaining consistent temperatures inside of your home and higher than usual energy bills.

Overview of the 2024 House Inspection Standards
The 2024 house inspection standards have been updated to ensure the safety and energy efficiency of your home. These standards are designed to identify potential safety hazards, as well as any issues that could affect the value or functionality of your home. Inspectors will now be required to examine a wider range of areas, including electrical systems, plumbing, roofing, HVAC system, windows and more. These updated standards will help to ensure that homebuyers in Pennsylvania are making informed decisions about their investments with a keen focus on energy efficiency.

How Old Windows Affect Your Energy Bill
As your home ages, the materials used to construct your house also age. This is especially true in older homes. Unlike older homes, newer homes are equipped with more energy-efficient windows that are crafted from sturdier and more durable materials. These qualities make these newer windows more energy efficient. Upgrading your home’s windows with the newest energy-efficient alternatives is a sure way to lower your energy costs. Old windows lack the energy efficiency of their modern counterparts because window technology has advanced so much that old windows, simply due to their age, simply cannot compare!
