How New Windows Lower Energy Bills

Heating and cooling make up the largest share of utility bills in most homes. If your windows are old or inefficient, they may be wasting 25 to 30 percent of your energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

The good news is that modern replacement windows are built to stop energy loss. With Sierra Pacific Select Remodeler, you get advanced insulated glass, Low-E performance coatings, and frames designed for efficiency. The result is lower bills, greater comfort, and confidence backed by one of the strongest warranties in the industry.

Why Old Windows Waste Energy

Older windows lose energy in several ways:

• Single-pane glass offers almost no insulation.
• Failed seals in double-pane windows allow insulating gas to escape.
• Drafts around frames let heated or cooled air leak out.
• Warped or rotting wood breaks the protective barrier.

These problems make your heating and cooling system work harder, raising bills and reducing comfort.

Insulated Glass That Works Harder

Sierra Pacific Select Remodeler replacement windows use advanced insulated glass systems.

How it Works

• Dual- and triple-pane glass options create an insulating barrier.
• Argon gas fills between panes to reduce heat transfer.
• Durable edge seals maintain efficiency and clarity over time.

The Result
Your home stays warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer with less wasted energy. And with up to 20 years of warranty coverage on insulated glass, your investment is protected.

Low-E Performance Glass

Low-E (low emissivity) coatings are a breakthrough in energy-efficient windows. They are microscopically thin layers applied to the glass surface to control heat flow.

Benefits of Low-E Glass

• Reflects indoor heat back inside during winter.
• Blocks solar heat during summer.
• Filters out harmful UV rays that cause fading.

The Result
Your home stays more comfortable year-round, while protecting your furniture, flooring, and finishes from sun damage.

Frames That Seal Tight

Efficiency is about more than glass. Sierra Pacific Select Remodeler vinyl replacement windows feature multi-chambered, fusion-welded frames that provide strength and insulation. Our clad-wood windows are protected with CoreGuard Plus treated wood and heavy-duty aluminum cladding that resists warping and swelling.

Benefits

• Airtight seals prevent drafts.
• Durable materials withstand Colorado winters and summers.
• Long-lasting finishes resist fading, chalking, and peeling.

ENERGY STAR Certified

Sierra Pacific Select Remodeler windows are ENERGY STAR certified, meaning they meet strict performance standards for efficiency.

Why This Matters

• Certified windows cut energy bills by an average of 12 percent nationwide.
• Performance is tailored by climate, so Colorado homeowners get the right balance of insulation and solar control.

Real Savings for Homeowners

Replacing single-pane windows with ENERGY STAR-certified double-pane windows can save homeowners between $126 and $465 per year. Even upgrading older double-pane units can save up to $111 annually. Over time, these savings add up to thousands of dollars.

More Than Just Savings

Lowering bills is only part of the benefit. New replacement windows also provide:

• Consistent comfort in every room.
• Less strain on your HVAC system, extending its life.
• Higher resale value as buyers demand efficient homes.
• Long-term protection with one of the strongest warranties in the industry.
