Keep the Cold Out: How New Windows & Doors Save You Money This Winter

Now is the time to winterize your home windows by hiring a local contractor who understands our weather and climate. Energy-efficient windows in Sudbury save homeowners money, and insulated doors in Ontario do too.

Now is the time to winterize your home windows and prepare your house before the snow sets in. Here’s how new windows and doors help you cut energy costs, increase comfort, and boost your home’s value.

Why Winterize Your Windows and Doors?

Energy efficiency isn’t just about staying warm – it’s about reducing waste, saving money, and protecting your investment. Here’s how:

  • Lower Energy Bills: New energy-efficient windows and doors minimize heat loss in winter and block heat gain in summer, helping you save year-round.
  • Improved Comfort: Insulated frames and glass reduce drafts, creating consistent indoor temperatures and a more comfortable living space.
  • Higher Home Value: Buyers are willing to pay more for energy-efficient upgrades that meet Ontario’s latest building standards.
  • Eco-Friendly Performance: Reduced energy use means fewer greenhouse gas emissions which is great for the planet and for environmentally conscious buyers.

How Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors Work

Energy-efficient windows and doors maximize their effectiveness through better materials applied with new techniques and superior professionalism.

For example, insulated windows feature multiple layers of glass with a sealed gas-filled space between them. This method creates a thermal buffer to slow heat transfer. Low-E coatings on the glass reflect heat, keeping it inside in winter and outside in summer.

Similar to the layered pane principle, modern doors have insulated cores that prevent heat from passing through. Airtight insulation stops air leakage around a window or door frame, preventing uncontrolled airflow.

Professional weatherstripping and caulking seals the gaps between the portal and the wall so air cannot escape or enter. 

More Benefits of Upgraded Windows and Doors

These are some of the little extras that also make these upgrades worthwhile:

  • Your furnace and air conditioner will experience less wear and tear, extend their lifespans while reducing maintenance costs.
  • New windows and doors mean an improved look for your home, upgrading the aesthetics of the house while lifting up the appearance of your street overall.
  • A more comfortable house in winter brings with it a psychological boost for its residents during the colder times of year, when your family can be more susceptible to seasonal blues.

A comfy home is a happy home and there’s a lot at stake for people who get hit harder by winter doldrums. That said, you need a contractor who cares about the community and whose reputation relies on delivering consistent, excellent work.

Engage a local contractor who succeeds because his work in your area keeps getting great reviews and generating referrals.
