Upgrade Your Home’s Energy Efficiency with New Glass Windows

Garrett Madison • August 15, 2025

Lower your energy bills and boost your comfort before Wisconsin’s cooler months arrive.

Why August Is the Perfect Time for a Window Upgrade

Late summer in Janesville means the heat is starting to ease, but cooler weather is just around the corner. This transition period is an ideal time to invest in new, energy-efficient glass windows. Not only will you enjoy more comfortable indoor temperatures now, but you’ll also be ready for the colder winds and rising heating bills of fall and winter.



The Benefits of Energy-Efficient Glass

Modern window technology has come a long way, and the latest designs are built to save energy and improve your home’s comfort:

  • Lower Utility Bills – Energy-efficient windows reduce heat transfer, keeping warm air inside during the winter and outside during the summer.
  • Increased Comfort – Fewer drafts mean a more consistent indoor temperature.
  • Reduced Condensation – Quality insulated glass helps prevent moisture buildup, protecting window frames and surrounding walls.
  • Enhanced Home Value – Updated windows boost curb appeal and can increase resale value.


What to Look for in New Windows

When shopping for replacement windows, here are the most important features to consider:

  1. Low-E Coatings – These microscopic layers reflect heat while allowing light in, improving insulation without darkening your rooms.
  2. Double- or Triple-Pane Glass – Extra layers provide better thermal performance and noise reduction.
  3. Gas Fills – Argon or krypton gas between panes improves insulation.
  4. Durable Frames – Vinyl and aluminum options resist warping and require minimal maintenance.
