If you live in a northern region and you don’t have energy-efficient windows on your home, you’re probably losing a lot of heat during the cold winter months. And rather than bumping up the thermostat again and again to keep warm—which ultimately results in higher energy bills—you might be better off investing in new windows for your home. While some . . .

Homeowners in the Southwest understand the necessity of having energy-efficient windows installed in their homes. Especially during the hot summer months, when temperatures are routinely in the triple digits, energy-efficient windows can help keep your home comfortable and prevent you from racking up exorbitantly high energy bills. But what should you look for when considering which replacement windows to install? . . .

Replacing all of the windows on your home is not a small job, but for many homeowners in the northeast, it’s a worthwhile investment to make. A large number of northeastern homes are quite old as this was the first part of our nation to be settled. Many of these homes are rich in historical beauty but lacking in terms . . .

I know I’m probably part of the minority, but living up in the north I’ve grown to love most aspects of autumn and winter, the change of the seasons, the bonfires, . . .

Heat naturally flows from hot objects to cool objects, which is why an ice cube melts on a hot day, rather than becoming colder. During the summer, this spontaneous process can have a dramatic effect on the indoor temperature of your home as heat moves through glass into the cooler interior. Unwanted heat gain can happen in two ways: by . . .
