Super Energy-Efficient Replacement Windows Can Slash the Cost of Fuel Bills
As a homeowner, you might judge your windows by the amount of light they allow into your home or perhaps you appreciate the great views you can see through them! But has it ever occurred to you that your windows could be costing you $$$s through wasted energy?
According to the US Department of Energy, traditional windows waste around 30% of the energy used to heat and cool an entire building. Not only do standard glass panes have less resistance to heat and cold, but old or ill-fitting window frames can also be drafty in winter or let warm air invade your property during summer. Either way, it all adds to the cost of heating or air-conditioning your home.
"Good quality
replacement windows could reduce a homeowner's energy costs by up to 40% or more," says Peter Allen of Four Seasons Sunrooms and Windows. "Obviously, the customer has an initial outlay for UPVC replacement windows but the money saved on re-decoration and utility costs means this could be recouped in the long term, and in the meantime their home will provide a much greater level of comfort."
Four Seasons Sunrooms and Windows customers, Keith and Barbara Menke couldn't agree more. They were so impressed with the style and performance of their Four Seasons sunroom that, in March this year, they decided to have the company fit
replacement windows throughout their home. They noticed a difference immediately. When Keith compared a month's energy costs with the same period last year he'd made a $52.11 saving – even though the unit price for electricity had gone up by 15 cents!
Four Seasons Sunrooms and Windows has been a leading manufacturer of
sunrooms, conservatories and
replacement windows for the past 35 years. The state-of-the-art technology used to create Four Seasons UPVC replacement windows makes them a cut above the rest for energy efficiency. The company uses a patented glazing system called

As well as super-energy efficient, Four Seasons utilize the maximum Titanium Dioxide in their UPVC recipe to provide superior UV protection and impact resistance. Window sashes are also strengthened by adding a hot-dipped galvanised steel insert, for your safety and security.
