Triple Pane Windows Save You Money

Ever walk down the frozen food isle at your local supermarket, you know the one where they keep the frozen turkeys. Is there a door? NO, but those turkeys are as hard as bowling balls. Ever wonder how they stay so frozen in an open case? It is because there really is a door, however it is invisible.

There is an induction fan in the top of the open freezer which circulates the cold frigid air in a circular motion which draws the warm supermarket air towards the circulated cold air, just as a shower head draws the shower curtain towards the running water from a shower head, we've all seen this before. So as the cold air circulates in the open freezer in one direction the warm supermarket air bounces off it in the opposite direction because "the hot air is drawn to the cold air, cold cannot be drawn to hot." Simply physics.

Not Convinced Yet? Triple Pane Vinyl Replacement Windows creates a double barrier of dead dry air between the three panes of glass which for optimum performance needs to be one inch wide.(this area is filled with an inert gas, more on this later) Any less then a one inch glazing space, you are not getting the best results out of your windows. The outer most space is your first protection and your first reduction of heat. The second inner space is the warmest since it is not trying to reduce such a great difference in temperature, ...common sense tells you that.

While we're giving advise, here's another bit of common sense. Many homeowners turn off air conditioning when they're going to be gone from their home all day, sometimes this is OK. However on very hot days (92 and above) this practice should be avoided. On hot days when you leave the house all day turn the AC setting down a bit, but never turn your AC off.

WHY? Because it takes so much more energy (BTU's) to cool hotter air and costs much more money (BTU's) to cool hot air then is does to maintain cool air. So when you go out on those really hot days and you like your home cool, turn the setting up a bit (75 - 78), then when you get home turn it down 72 or too 68 if you like hanging meat on the walls. This practice will save homeowners a lot money.

When you add triple pane windows and watch your energy bills drop while you and your family enjoy a comfortable inside environment while adding years of longevity to your homes Air Conditioning System. Now how much have you saved?
