Your home's windows serve more purpose than being a looking pane. In fact, they're a crucial barrier that keeps your home separated from the exterior climate.

Do your windows have air leaks? Some mistakenly think that only very old windows are drafty, but the truth is that even newer windows can have air leaks. Identifying leaks is essential in order to maximize your home’s energy efficiency.

Every homeowner knows that inefficiency is the main reason for high utility bills. But did you realize that windows are the primary contributor? Old windows tend to have deteriorated seams and inferior glass that allow outdoor air to enter the home, and internal air to escape.

You’ve seen the increase on your energy bills and you’ve heard the fuss about climate change. Suddenly you’re wondering if new windows might be the answer to your problems. It’s true, energy-efficient savings is a big selling point for new windows. But how much difference can they really make?

​So, it's time to replace the windows in your home and your head is swirling with options. The good news is you're not alone. This is an overwhelming process that every San Antonio homeowner will inevitably encounter.

Investing in good quality windows and professional installation are the first steps to success with new windows.

Energy Home Pros keeps a close eye on window trends with local homeowners, and our window company has noticed many homeowners making a switch. Instead of traditional glass or vinyl, many of our clients prefer fiberglass windows. Why fiberglass?

Proper window installations are important. Without necessary measurements, careful placement, and the right tools for the job, your windows will soon leak, become drafty, or fail to operate properly.  It’s also important that you choose a window company that provides quality products.

The last thing you want to do is spend money on window replacements just to have your windows fail. Faulty window installations lead to fogging, drafts and leaks, uneven windows, and can make your windows difficult or impossible to open and close.

Finding the right window features might be the most interesting part of getting window replacements. You have a variety of window types, materials, colors, and hardware options to choose from, all of which provide opportunity to improve your home in many ways. What about the size of your windows?
