Closing The Window On Energy Costs

Closing The Window On Energy Costs (NAPS)—Experts report the average U.S. household spends over 40 percent of its energy budget on heating and coolingcosts. Until recently, for many home- owners this has been like tossing money out the window. It’s estimated almost one quarter of all energy used for space heating and cooling is lost through windows. That’s because it’s estimated almost one quarterof all energy used for space heating and cooling is lost through windows. Fortunately, a new generation of vinyl windows is changing all that. They come with a pledge homeowners will save 49 percent on fuel consumption and a transferable, lifetime warranty. Called the Quantum2, the windows come with vinyl profiles that are maintenance free. These fusion-welded frames and sashes are described as air and watertight and tilt in for easy cleaning. The windowsare constructed with two panes of specially treated glass and an internal suspended film layer that traps the krypton in two separate chambers, which increases fuel effi- ciency. A special glazing package is offered which is said to block 99.5 percent of all UV rays. To learn more, visit the Web site at www.quantum2.net or call 877-RVALUE10.
