Reduce cost with new windows

How New Windows Can Lower Your Heating and Cooling Costs

June 05, 20253 min read

If your energy bills seem to climb higher with every season, your windows may be to blame. Old, drafty, or poorly sealed windows are one of the biggest culprits when it comes to energy loss in a home. Whether it’s freezing air sneaking in during winter or cool air escaping in the summer, inefficient windows can make your HVAC system work overtime, and cost you more month after month.

At Acro Contractor, we specialize in replacing outdated windows with modern, energy-efficient models that improve insulation, reduce noise, and enhance your home’s overall appearance. Our family-owned business has over 60 years of combined experience, and we proudly serve homeowners across all of New England.

Why Energy-Efficient Windows Matter

Upgrading your windows isn’t just a cosmetic improvement; it’s a smart investment that pays off in multiple ways. Energy-efficient windows are designed with advanced features like multi-pane glass, low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, and gas fills (like argon or krypton) between panes. These features work together to:

• Improve insulation and reduce heat transfer

• Keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer

• Decrease the strain on your heating and cooling systems

• Result in lower utility bills year-round

Not only do these windows help regulate indoor temperatures, but they also minimize outside noise, improve security, and boost curb appeal, all while making your home more comfortable and energy-efficient.

Are Your Old Windows Costing You?

If your windows are more than 15-20 years old, they may not meet modern energy efficiency standards. Here are some signs it’s time to consider replacement:

• You feel drafts even when windows are closed

• Your HVAC system runs constantly

• Condensation forms between the window panes

• You notice rising heating and cooling costs

• The frames are cracked, warped, or rotting

If any of these sound familiar, upgrading your windows could make a significant difference, both in your comfort and in your monthly budget.

Trusted Window Brands for Lasting Quality

At Acro Contractor, we only install products we trust and would use in our own homes. That’s why we partner with Simonton Vinyl Windows and Vinylmax Windows, two of the most respected names in the window industry. Both brands are known for producing high-quality vinyl windows that are energy-efficient, durable, and low-maintenance.

Combined with our expert installation, these windows deliver a long-lasting solution that adds value and performance to your home. Whether you’re replacing one window or upgrading your entire home, we’ll help you choose the right style and features to meet your goals and budget.

As a family-owned business with decades of experience, we understand the importance of doing the job right the first time. We bring a personal, hands-on approach to every project, whether it’s roofing, siding, gutters, or window installation. Our goal is always the same: to protect your home, increase its value, and give you peace of mind.
