Window Technology has improved tremendously over the past 30 Years in 3 important ways:
- Today's Window Assemblies are produced with tighter tolerences in sealed units - reducing or eliminating air infiltration
- Today's Windows have a much higher Insulation Value - they transmit much less heat into the Home
- Today's Windows have High Tech Coatings on them that keep Ultra-Violet rays from heating up and fading Furniture and Carpet
Prior to 1979, Dual Paned windows were not required in California. If your home has these old Single-Paned, Aluminum-Framed Windows, TNT STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that you consider replacing them with New ones. These replacements can be accomplished in just a few hours with no messy Stucco or Drywall repair using Milgard Brand Retrofit Windows - available in any size.
THIS IMPROVEMENT ALONE WILL SAVE YOU UP TO 25% IN COOLING COSTS IN AN OLDER HOME!
Replacement Windows for older Homes are included as part of our HOME OPTIMIZER PACKAGE.
INSULATION
Insulation Value is an extremely important factor in Heat infiltration and the consequent use of Air Conditioning. Prior to
1979, insulation was not required in Homes in California. Building codes have progressively required greater levels of insulation
since. Adding insulation to the attic of an older home is comparatively easy - as it can be 'blown' in. Existing walls are a different
matter as the cost can be prohibitive to insulate them. TNT's HOME OPTIMIZER PACKAGE bypasses the necessity for these measures
by other, more efficient means. See How.
