Energy Efficient Replacement Windows for Tampa, St Petersburg, Clearwater, Jacksonville, Ft Myers, Orlando & Throughout Florida

Due to the often stifling Florida weather and the high cost of running an air conditioner, energy efficient replacement windows are a hot commodity in the Sunshine State. Unfortunately for homeowners, not all energy efficient windows are built the same, so it is important to learn as much as you can about the various windows on the market before making your final selection.

Whether your home is in Jacksonville, Tampa, Clearwater, Ft Myers, Orlando, or St Petersburg, you live in one of the country’s hottest climates, so you will need energy efficient replacement windows that meet the strictest energy efficiency guidelines. A few important features you should insist upon with your energy saving windows include:

• Engineering and construction – especially of the frame and sashes
• Type of glass – whether they’re single pane, double pane, or triple pane
• Argon or krypton gas – between the panes of glass to increase energy efficiency
• Low-E coating – the type of coating on the glass
• Qualifying for the 2009-2010 federal windows tax credit – windows that meet these tax credit guidelines are incredibly energy efficient , with a U factor of less than or equal to 0.30, as well as a solar heat gain coefficient of less than or equal to 0.30.
• Weather stripping – to prevent outdoor weather from seeping into your home
• Hurricane and impact resistance – very few energy efficient windows are also able to qualify as hurricane windows because the materials often used for hurricane resistance are not always energy efficient. Duramade windows are one of the few window brands on the market that are both extremely energy efficient and hurricane impact resistant.
