Whether you are replacing existing windows or building a new home, high-quality, energy efficient windows are worth considering. Here are some tips to consider when installing energy efficient windows:

• Install high-performance windows, screens and films to protect upholstery, wood and artwork from UV rays while saving energy.
• Eliminate “hot spots” in your home by using high-performance windows, solar window screens and qualified window films.
• Consider high-performance windows before you replace your AC system. They’re so efficient that they may help reduce the size and cost needed for an AC system.
• Install high-performance windows with double-glazing and spectrally selective coatings that reduce heat gain and avoid turning up your AC.
