What is Low E glass with Argon?
The Window Source of Northwest PA installs low-e glass windows for homeowners across Erie and Northwest Pennsylvania, the single best window upgrade for the cold climate. Low-E glass coatings and insulated frames hold heat inside and block drafts, keeping homes warmer and cutting heating costs through the long, cold Erie winters. Every install includes factory-direct pricing, professional installation, and a lifetime warranty.
Does Low E glass lower both heating and cooling cost?
The Low-E coating increases the efficiency of the windows, helping save you money and keeping you comfortable during any season. In the winter, radiant heat produced by your heating system is reflected back into your home. In the summer, radiant heat from the sun is reflected away from your home so that the burden on your cooling system is greatly reduced. Unlike dark tinted glass, Low-E glass allows almost all visible light to pass through.
How do I select the right Low E coating for my climate?
You don’t need to worry about which coating is best for your climate. The United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program takes out all the guesswork. The program has set minimum performance criteria for each of the climate zones.
Select the Energy Star window that is compliant with your climate zone and you can rest assured that your Low-E coating has been optimized for your climate.
When selecting your new or replacement windows, make sure you request an Energy Star compliant window. Southwest Georgia sits in a mixed-humid climate zone, with hot, humid summers and cool winters, so the right Low-E coating matters in both seasons: it reflects summer heat away from your home and keeps winter warmth inside. The Window Source of Southwest Georgia guarantees your windows will be Energy Star certified when you select the Low-E upgrade on any of our windows or doors. Low-E is a smart investment that pays for itself in recovered energy costs, and it also helps reduce fading on fabrics and furnishings exposed to strong natural light.
