Your Home is Less Energy Efficient Than You Think

Is your heating system running, but certain rooms still feel cold? Or does your thermostat show the correct temperature, yet you still need to bundle up to stay warm? If you're experiencing these issues, you're not alone. Many homeowners face similar challenges with home efficiency.

This could be a sign that your home is not as energy-efficient as it should be. Inadequate insulation, drafts, or outdated windows may be the culprits, allowing warm air to escape and cold air to seep in - or vice versa. Fortunately, solutions like a home energy audit, improved insulation, or upgrading your windows can help.

By addressing these common issues, you can increase comfort, lower your energy bills, and ensure your home is as efficient as possible. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you optimize your home's energy efficiency.

Inefficient Older Homes

Why Your Home’s Energy Efficiency May Be Suffering

Older homes often suffer from inefficiencies due to small gaps and cracks in their exterior walls, particularly around windows and doors. These gaps can be caused by natural wear and tear or misalignment as the structure settles over time. Although these openings may seem minor individually, together they can result in a significant loss of heated or cooled air, driving up your energy bills. Proper insulation and window upgrades can significantly improve the energy efficiency of older homes, making them more comfortable and reducing unnecessary energy costs.

Common Issues in Newer Homes

Building Codes and Energy Efficiency Gaps

Modern homes are built to meet local building codes, which set specific standards for energy efficiency. However, to save on costs and maximize profit, many home builders today only meet the minimum required standards and often don't go beyond that. This can leave homeowners with less-than-optimal insulation, windows, and doors, which may not fully maximize energy efficiency. At North Georgia Replacement Windows, we don't just meet the standards — we exceed them. When installing new windows and doors in both older and newer homes, we ensure that every job is completed with superior quality and performance, so you can enjoy a more energy-efficient, comfortable living space.

Audit, Insulation & Windows

GET A HOME ENERGY AUDIT

Experts will do a highly detailed inspection of every part of your home. You may be surprised at the issues they discover - which you've been paying for in wasted energy costs all these years. You'll be supplied with a comprehensive report, listing all the problem areas that should be addressed.

LOOK AT INSULATION OPTIONS

There are several types of insulation that make a huge difference in home energy efficiency. The most common area to add insulation is in the attic, but insulation can also be added to basements and inside the exterior walls of your home. Ask your insulation expert what's best for your home.

INSTALL INFINITY FROM MARVIN WINDOWS

Infinity windows and doors are made from Ultrex fiberglass - a pultruded fiberglass material so strong and durable it is superior to other window materials.

Infinity's Ultrex Fiberglass Windows

The energy-efficient difference

Superior Insulation: Infinity's Ultrex fiberglass is 5,000 times less conductive than aluminum, making it an excellent choice for energy-efficient windows. It helps retain heat in the winter and keeps your home cooler in the summer, which can lead to lower energy bills year-round.
Durable and Strong: Ultrex fiberglass is 8x stronger than vinyl, resists warping and cracking, and ensures long-lasting window performance, even in extreme conditions, for energy-efficient home improvement.
Tight Seal, Less Air Leakage: Ultrex fiberglass expands at nearly the same rate as glass, creating a custom, airtight seal that prevents air leaks and improves your home's energy efficiency.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Unlike vinyl, Ultrex is thermoset, which means it's free from harmful VOCs and off-gassing, making it a healthier, eco-friendly window material for your home.
