Most Energy Efficient Windows in Tampa, St Petersburg, Clearwater, Ft Myers, Jacksonville, Orlando & All of Florida

Once the summer comes, you realize that your air conditioner is running all day long just to keep up with Florida’s soaring temperatures and humidity. There might be nothing wrong with your air conditioner, however—it could be your windows. If they’re old and leaky, they need to be replaced with windows that are able to keep more cold air in your home so that your air conditioner doesn’t have to work so hard. When you are on a quest to find the most energy efficient windows available—ones that can stand up to Florida’s climate and greatly reduce your electricity bill in Tampa, Clearwater, St Petersburg, Ft Myers, Jacksonville, Orlando, and throughout the state—it’s time to call Duramade.

Virtually all installers of replacement windows will say their products are energy efficient, but there are vast differences between the many brands and styles of windows on the market today. The only way to tell the difference between energy efficient windows is to look at the window’s U-factor (also called U-value) and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, or SHGC.

Also, to ensure you are actually looking at the most energy efficient windows possible, the window’s U-factor and SHGC should be independently verified by the National Fenestration Rating Council, or NFRC. (“Fenestration” is any opening in a building, including windows.) The NFRC is a program established by the U.S. Department of Energy to help consumers compare the true energy efficiency of windows. Participation in the program is voluntary and provides consumers with an outside, third-party inspection and testing of windows. This is why most manufacturers do not participate in the NFRC, since extensive third party testing will probably prove that their windows are not the most energy efficient windows on the market.

At Duramade Windows & Doors, we carry Gorell windows, a manufacturer of vinyl windows that is proud to be a member of NFRC. By participating in NFRC, all Gorell windows you purchase from Duramade are independently verified and labeled to show that they meet our energy efficiency claims.
