Exterior Home Remodel Energy Efficiency
How much can old windows, patio doors, and front doors be costing you in overall energy efficiency? A ton. In fact, it is a well known fact that 25-30% of your energy can simply leak out of your home with old windows alone. Old entry doors and patio doors can additionally contribute 10-15% in energy loss. That is a ton of your HVAC leaking through gaps in your home. Stop paying to cool and heat the outdoors. Keep reading to learn more about energy efficient exterior replacement products, and how they can save you a ton of money on energy costs.
Window Replacement
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that you’ll save between $126 to $465 a year by replacing single-pane windows in your home. At Conservation Construction, our windows are designed with energy efficiency in mind. We have a patented 12 layer formula to coat our windows. This coating, known as LoE-366 Glass Coating, is one of the most energy efficient window systems on the market today. That’s because it bounces harmful UV rays back outside keeping your home cool, and your furniture free from getting bleached by the sun. This coating, while extremely energy efficient, doesn’t block the view like window tinting would. You’ll get a perfect view and protection from the sun. This also means that your house will stay cool because those harmful rays won’t be heating up the interior of your home–even if you keep the shades open!
Front Door Replacement
Fiberglass or Steel New Entry Doors can save the average homeowner up to 35% off their total energy bills. This means the door has no thermal breaks. We measure the door to fit snugly so that it is sealed to utmost perfection. No gaps and an extremely tight seal mean that you get better overall energy efficiency and reduced air infiltration. Not to mention that your door will be a stable temperature to the touch on the inside in extreme heat or cold.
Patio Door Replacement
If you have an older sliding door leading to your patio, you absolutely can cut your energy consumption and costs by simply replacing this too. You can save up to 40% off your total energy costs if you switch to a new patio door. That’s because patio doors are very large and an inefficient one can be letting so much energy leak through the cracks.

You won’t just get the beauty of saving energy off your monthly bill, you’ll also get the beauty of all of our exterior products. It will be so nice to see out your new doors and windows without seeing cracked glass or fog. You just can’t put a price on that kind of beauty and functionality in your home.
