Feeling the Heat? Your Old Windows Might Be to Blame

Summers in Arkansas are no joke. If you’re struggling to keep your house cool despite cranking up the air conditioning, your windows may be working against you.

At Southwest Window & Door, we help homeowners stay cooler, lower their energy bills, and reclaim comfort with modern, energy-efficient window replacements.

🌡️ Why Summer Is the Worst Time for Bad Windows

When the sun beats down on your home, older windows with single-pane glass or broken seals allow heat to pour in and cool air to escape. This means:

Your AC works overtime
You pay more every month
Some rooms feel hotter than others

Energy efficient windows are designed specifically to combat these issues — especially during the intense summer months.

❄️ How New Energy-Efficient Windows Work

Here’s what separates modern windows from builder-grade ones:

Low-E Glass: Reflects heat instead of absorbing it, keeping your home cooler.
Argon or Krypton Gas: Fills the space between panes to block thermal transfer.
Double or Triple Pane Glass: Insulates far better than single-pane or old clear glass.
Warm-Edge Spacers and Weatherstripping: Prevent air leaks and seal your home tight.

All these features reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.

🌟 Real Comfort, Real Savings

Upgrading to energy efficient windows doesn’t just improve comfort. It offers a real return:

Lower cooling bills
More consistent indoor temperatures
Longer HVAC lifespan
Quieter rooms (added sound insulation)

And many utility companies even offer rebates or incentives for energy-efficient upgrades.
