Energy Efficient Chicago Windows

Energy Efficient Chicago Windows

When considering household finances and thinking about ways to save money, we tend to focus on the big expenses that hit our checkbooks all at once, in one budget busting burst. While no one is suggesting you ignore such large-scale expenditures, it pays to remember that you can also save a surprising amount of money by making relatively small improvements in household efficiency. Even something as simple as installing better-insulated windows for example, can add up to big savings in utility costs.

Battle Chicago Weather Extremes with Energy Efficient Windows

According to the Department of Energy, the average U.S. family spends almost $2,000 a year on utilities with heating and cooling costs representing almost 50 percent of that total. Lake Michigan produces lake effect weather for the whole Chicago metropolitan area leading to seasonal extremes in weather patterns. This means that if you live in Chicago, you probably spend near the high end of this national average to keep warm and toasty during the winter months and cool and comfy during the hot summer months.
