Keeping Your House Warmer in Utah on Less Money

There are many different ideas for lowering the costs of warming your Utah home in the winter, including taking care of drafty Utah windows and Utah doors. Some ideas are short-term, inexpensive, treat-the-symptom sorts of things, such as: circulating heat in the rooms with ceiling fans; using space heaters in cold areas; using draft stoppers under doors; closing off unused rooms; placing plastic on drafty windows; placing area rugs over cold floors; turning the heat down at night; using electric blankets; avoiding the use of bathroom fans; minimizing the use of clothes dryers; and wearing sweaters, slippers, and such.

There are longer-term solutions that actually treat-the-problems, also. Most of them take a lot more time and money, of course. Some of these include: using an insulator blanket on the water heater and water pipes; keeping the area clear around the water heater and furnace to maximize air flow; sealing off cracks and leaks around electrical sockets, windows, and doors; changing furnace filters regularly; filling and caulking gaps and cracks in outside bricks and siding; increase the insulation in walls and ceilings; allowing warm sunlight in through the windows; replacing old windows and doors with new energy-efficient ones; and converting to solar power. Another good idea is to obtain a low-cost, or even free, home energy audit to help decide how to best spend energy-saving time and money.

Lots of people are worried about rising home-heating costs and about how they can make the most of their furnace heat. One way to lower heating and cooling expenses by about 40 percent, over many decades, is by putting in new energy-efficient windows and doors. Some people qualify for major tax incentives when they do this.

One manufacturer of Utah windows and Utah doors specializes in installing custom-built, custom-fitting window and door replacements. Houses tend to settle over the years, creating un-square door and window frames—creating the need for custom-fitting doors and windows. Advanced Window Products’ patented windows are energy-efficient because of their non-heat-conducting vinyl frames, Warm-Edge Technology, double-strength glass, and multiple weather stripping. These Utah windows are about twice the weight of some vinyl windows.

These Utah windows have other benefits as well, including: giving your property style and increased value; reducing outside noise; and never requiring painting or upkeep. The only Utah window manufacturer that builds a sliding inward-swinging window that gives you inside-the-house cleaning of outside glass capability is Advanced Window Products.

This Utah door and Utah window business gives installations that ensure the prevention of drafts and infiltration of dust, pests, and moisture. They provide direct-from-the-factory savings, free in-home estimates, and a locally honored warrantee.

For homeowners interested in reducing their heating and cooling costs, they should consider purchasing new insulated alternative windows. Along with reduced monthly utility bills, homeowners will see how replacement windows will keep their home both warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

 

We, Advanced Window Products, are a Utah replacement window company that has been in business and serving the Intermountain region since 1986. With all the window companies in existence today, it is important that homeowners consider a company that specializes in replacement windows. The proper installation of windows is not only necessary for lowering utility costs, but keeping moisture and pests out of your home. If living in or around the Salt Lake City area, homeowners need to hire the only window company in Utah which makes it their business to install replacement windows. Replacement windows made specifically for your home come in the Classic Series, Premier Series, and Imperial Series and Bay/Bow Windows.

 

The Classic Series replacement windows can be installed as a Single Hung Tilt or a Single Slider Swing. With the Single Hung Tilt window, the glass is created with 2mm heavy duty walls, multiple weather stripping which prevents drafts, moisture and dust and childproof flush mounted safety latches. These windows also have sliding slash tilts, allowing for easy window cleaning. Another version of this Single Hung Tilt window is the Single Slider Swing. With the Single Slider Swing replacement windows, they also have 2mm heavy duty walls, child proof flush mounted safety latches, sash that slides and pivots.  Some benefits such as slide blocks, will support the weight of the sash in the tilted position along with various other important benefits.

 

The Premier Series replacement windows can be installed as a Double Hung Tilt or Double Slider Swing. The Double Hung Tilt comes with features like multiple weather stripping. This weather stripping prevents drafts and infiltration of moisture and dust. The sash slides and pivots along with other important window features. This window type also comes with these benefits like a patented drain channel. These drain channels provide a high resistance to water infiltration. The Double Slider Swing replacement windows also come with 2mm heavy duty walls, child proof flush mounted safety latches, thermo welded corners in frame and sash for superior strength and air tightness. Some benefits include the patented slide block with reinforced pivot bar and safety clip. This window also prevents accidental disengagement of the sash from frame when tilted in.

 

The Imperial Series replacement windows are another excellent window to consider. These windows come with 2mm heavy duty walls, child proof flush mounted safety latches, patent pending structural clips made with durable nylon, as well as other features. All these combine to greatly increase the structural strength of the window. The benefits for this window are the patented slide blocks with reinforced pivot bar and safety clip. These benefits prevent the accidental disengagement of the sash from the frame when tilted in.

 

The Bay/Bow Replacement Window are built with a crank operator, which opens to a full 90 degrees. This 90 degree angle begins at the top and ends at the bottom window hinges. This allows for the sash to slide sideways for an easy window cleaning, from inside your home. These Bay/Bow replacement windows also come with 2mm heavy duty walls, child proof flush mounted safety latches, and multiple weather stripping which prevents drafts and infiltration of moisture and dust. The benefits of these windows include the patented slide block with reinforced pivot bar and safety clip. This also prevents accidental disengagement of the sash from frame when tilted in.
