Energy efficient windows keep conditioned air inside while blocking outdoor temperatures from coming in.
Energy efficient windows keep conditioned air inside while blocking outdoor temperatures from coming in.
The clearest markers are Energy Star 7.0 certification and air infiltration ratings — the lower, the better.
What Makes a Window Truly Energy Efficient
- Energy Star 7.0 certification: Installing certified windows can reduce heating and cooling costs by an average of up to 13% nationwide compared to non-certified products.
- Low-E glass coatings: These microscopically thin layers reflect heat back in winter and block solar heat gain in summer without reducing your view.
- 0.1 CFM air infiltration: Our windows hold an industry-best 0.1 CFM rating, meaning less air movement and more stable interior temperatures year-round.
- Multi-pane construction: Upgrading from double- to triple-pane glass can improve energy performance by 40% or more. Triple pane also reduces outside noise by 40-50%.
- Insulated frame technology: Frames filled with polyurethane insulation perform significantly better than hollow vinyl frames, delivering measurably stronger R-values.
Top Recommendation: Energy Star 7.0 certified double-pane with Low-E coatings — the sweet spot for most Avon, MA homeowners.
Best for Budget: Double-pane vinyl with Energy Star certification for solid performance at an accessible price point.
Best for Maximum Savings: Triple-pane windows in rooms facing prevailing winds or direct sun exposure on the South Shore.
