In cold and warm seasons you can lose a substantial amount of heating and air-conditioning through your windows. That loss of energy through your windows can add up to a lot of money wasted every month. If you own a older home with wood  or aluminum framed windows you might try replacing them with new modern windows.  Materials  such as vinyl and fiberglass provide much more insulation than wood.  When replacing your windows look for windows that have double or triple panes with ” Low-E Glass” coating. 

When purchasing Enery Efficient windows the goverment is offering tax incentives to make these types of windows more attractive to buy. Check with your local window suppler in your area for more information.
