Why Energy-Efficient Glass Pays for Itself in Texas Heat

Texas summers are no joke. With temperatures regularly soaring above 100°F, your air conditioning works overtime to keep your home comfortable. But did you know that your windows could be costing you hundreds of dollars each year in wasted energy?

The Problem with Standard Glass

Traditional single-pane windows and even older double-pane windows allow significant heat transfer. In summer, solar heat pours through your windows, forcing your AC to work harder. In winter, heated air escapes, driving up heating costs.

How Energy-Efficient Glass Works

Modern energy-efficient windows feature Low-E (low-emissivity) coatings and insulating gas fills that dramatically reduce heat transfer. These technologies reflect infrared light, keeping heat out in summer and in during winter, while still allowing natural light to enter.

Real Savings for Texas Homeowners

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, replacing single-pane windows with Energy Star-rated windows can save Texas homeowners $126-$465 per year. For older double-pane windows, savings range from $27-$111 annually. Over the lifespan of your windows (20+ years), that's thousands of dollars back in your pocket.

Beyond Energy Savings

Energy-efficient windows also reduce UV damage to your furniture and flooring, improve indoor comfort by eliminating hot spots, and increase your home's resale value. They're an investment that pays dividends in multiple ways.
