Windows are one of the first things we look at replacing when trying to maintain the energy efficiency of our homes. But did you know that just because your windows might be old doesn't mean they're lousy? 

To determine whether or not you need new windows, ask a professional. Or even better, take some time and have an energy audit done on your home to see whether your home is as energy efficient, or not as energy efficient, as you think it may be.  You may be surprised at what a good job your older windows are already doing to regulate your living space! 

When it is time for replacement windows, invest in your home. Especially if efficiency is your concern, it's really best to have a professional installation of great-quality products, instead of fumbling around with the how-to list from the hardware store.  You'll see a difference in the appearance of your windows and be able to enjoy the money savings that well-installed replacement windows can offer.
