Noise Reduction Windows that Save You Money on Energy Bills
January 7, 2019
It should not be a surprise that leaving your window open in the winter will increase your energy costs. You already know that cold air will flow in, cooling your house down in the process. But did you know that old and poorly insulated windows can have a similar effect throughout the year? Those same windows can also greatly increase your energy bills as heat escapes your house in the winter. Not many homeowners think about replacing old windows, but window drafts allow heat and cooled air to escape during the winter and summer months. That is why it is recommended to invest in home noise reduction and energy-saving storm windows that you can retrofit without even replacing your existing windows. It may seem too good to be true, but let us explain. First, let’s look at what the Magnetite Canada window system can do for your home windows.
Solves Poor Insulation
Place your hand on your window on a cold winter day. Does it feel icy to the touch even if the inside of the house is warm? If so, you are losing money because of poor insulation. Antique or thin-pane windows tend to leak heat this way as old sealant wears off.
Even a properly insulated double-pane window will weaken over time. Do you notice any condensation between the panes of a double-pane window? That is a sign the window is transferring heat and may require replacement. Keep in mind that condensation on the interior
Fixes Open Drafts
Drafts can happen anywhere in your home, but a constant source of drafting is cracks and gaps in old windows. You can check for subtle drafts by holding a candle near a window and seeing whether the flame flickers. Address these drafts quickly, as they can be costly.
Changes in climate cause drafts. The cycle of cold and hot weather, along with moisture fluctuations, causes parts of the home to expand and contract. Slight changes like these affect how windows and doors are seated. As a result, openings develop in the window frames.
Many windows are sealed with caulking and weather stripping intended to protect against drafts, but even these will deteriorate over time. In some cases, replacing the caulking is enough, but at other times it is best to insulate your existing windows with the Magnetite double glazed noise reduction and energy-saving storm window system.
The Magnetite Window System – Cheaper than Replacing Your Existing Windows
The last thing you want to do is replace all the windows in your home. On average, you should expect to spend between $20,000 and $40,000 to replace the windows in your home. If your home has classic stained glass windows, you should expect to pay even more.
The Magnetite system seals windows against air leaks, reduces noise pollution, improves indoor comfort, eliminates dust and pollen infiltration, increases the value of your home, extends the life of HVAC equipment, and can save up to 30% on your heating and cooling expenses. The Magnetite system is designed to improve your current windows rather than replace them.
