Winter in Canada can be beautiful, but let’s face it, it’s also brutal on your heating bills. If your home struggles to keep the cold out and the warmth in, your windows and doors could be the culprit. Upgrading to energy-efficient models is a smart way to winterize your home and cut down on those sky-high heating costs.
Here’s how new windows and doors from Best Windows & Doors Inc. can keep your home cozy and your wallet happy this winter.
Why Winterizing Matters
When winter hits, every drafty window or poorly insulated door becomes a highway for heat loss. Natural Resources Canada says up to 25% of your home’s heat can escape through inefficient windows and doors. This doesn’t just make your home uncomfortable and forces your heating system to work harder, driving up your energy bills.
The solution? Professional window installation with energy-efficient options designed to perform in Canada’s coldest weather.
The Benefits of New Windows and Doors
1. Superior Insulation
Energy-efficient windows and doors feature advanced insulation technologies like:
- Double or triple glazing: Multiple panes of glass trap heat inside.
- Low-E coatings: Reflect heat back into your home, reducing heat loss.
- Argon gas fills: Between panes for extra insulation.
With these features, your home stays warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer—helping you save year-round.
2. Say Goodbye to Drafts
Old or poorly installed windows and doors often allow cold air to sneak in. New models come with:
- Tight weather seals
- Advanced frame materials
- Improved construction to minimize gaps
This means no more chilly drafts disrupting your comfort.
3. Lower Energy Bills
Energy-efficient windows and doors reduce heat loss, reducing the load on your heating system. Over time, this can lead to significant savings on your utility bills.
