Cost Savings

Saving Energy Means Saving Money
Not only does consuming less energy give the warm feeling about contributing to good environmental stewardship, it also gives you a good feeling every time you go to the bank. With energy costs climbing, highly efficient doors and windows installed in your home or business can quickly pay for themselves by decreasing your energy bills.

It's pretty simple. This chart details the amount of money you can save replacing your home’s old single pane windows (an R-value of 1.0) with other windows on the market. Super-insulating windows of higher R-values can help you save the highest percentage of heating and cooling costs when compared to other “energy-saving” windows available today. Even compared to typical Energy Star windows (they are usually dual pane low-e windows with an insulating value of R-2.5 to R-2.8 depending on geography).

The data for this chart is based on the U.S. Department of Energy’s RESFEN model and is an average taken from 5 typical cities across the U.S.

Serious Windows are 200% to 400% more efficient than other Energy Star rated windows, depending upon model. 

Slash up to 40% off Your Energy Bills
If you spend $300 a month on heating and cooling (a relatively modest sum in today’s energy economy) that’s $3,600 a year and $36,000 in a decade.

Installing Serious Windows that cut 40% off that figure would save you $14,400 over the next decade while dramatically reducing your personal carbon footprint. 

Put the Chill on Global Warming 
If everyone in America installed high-efficiency windows and took other steps to reduced home and business energy consumption by just 10% — a goal that’s often within relatively easy reach for most homes and businesses — the positive environmental impact would be incredible. 

Not only would people save hundreds of millions in energy costs, they would collectively slash environmentally damaging greenhouse gas emissions.
