Per square foot, your home’s windows lose more heat in the winter and gain more warmth in the summer than any other surface. Windows occupy a critical portion of wall space, resulting in a high rate of energy exchange that ultimately translates into higher heating and cooling costs. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce those costs. Glass Doctor® of Tacoma, WA has the solution for regulating your Pierce County home’s interior climate: insulated glass units (IGUs), also known as double pane windows.
Even if your home already has double pane windows, it’s important to look for indications of condensation under the panes. This means a broken seal has allowed a leak to occur and repair or replacement is in order.
