Here's Why Installing Andersen Windows Can Save You Money & Energy

In Hudson, WI, and throughout the St. Croix Valley, our homes endure everything from humid summer afternoons to the notoriously harsh Midwest winters. All that wear and tear certainly takes a toll on your property’s exteriors, but if you are noticing drafts or rising utility bills, your windows are likely the culprit. 

Comfort shouldn’t have to be a luxury for your home! At Window Installation Specialists, we recommend Andersen Windows not just for their sophisticated beauty, but as a long-term strategy to enhance your home’s thermal performance and put money back in your pocket.

As an Andersen Certified & Preferred Window Contractor, we’ve seen firsthand how the right materials can transform a home's efficiency. Here is a deep dive into how Andersen Window technology provides significant energy savings for homeowners in Hudson, Stillwater, and beyond! 

The Power of Fibrex® Material

One of the primary ways Andersen windows deliver energy savings is through their proprietary Fibrex® composite material, featured in the popular 100 Series. 

Here’s what the power of Fibrex® has to offer: 

• Superior Insulation: Fibrex® has excellent thermal insulating properties, helping your home stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
• Strength and Durability: This material is twice as strong as vinyl, meaning it maintains its airtight seal even after years of exposure to extreme temperature swings.
• Low Expansion/Contraction: Unlike many other materials, Fibrex® expands and contracts very little, which prevents the gaps and leaks that typically lead to energy loss.

When you can capture the timeless look of vinyl awning windows while doubling the structural integrity, you can rest assured that your new windows are installed to perform for many years to come! 

High-Performance Glass Technology

While the frame is vital, it's the glass that occupies the largest surface area of your window. Take a look at how Andersen’s high-performance glass options are engineered to reflect heat and filter out UV rays: 

• Winter Warmth: During cold Minnesota and Wisconsin winters, the glass helps reflect radiant heat back into your home, reducing the strain on your furnace.
• Summer Cooling: In the summer, it blocks external solar heat gain, significantly lowering your air conditioning costs.
• UV Protection: Advanced coatings protect your interior floors and furniture from fading, saving you money on home interior maintenance over time.

Tough, weather-resistant, and energy-efficient — that’s why we recommend Andersen Windows to all of our clients looking to keep their exteriors maintenance-free while pairing it with the bold beauty of wood interiors! 

A Long-Term Savings Strategy

Investing in high-quality windows is about more than immediate comfort; it is a financial decision for the future of your property. 

Here’s what Window Installation Specialists brings to the table with every window we install: 

1. Reduced Energy Bills: By minimizing air infiltration and maximizing insulation, homeowners often see a noticeable reduction in monthly utility expenditures.
2. Increased Property Value: Professionally installed Andersen windows are a major selling point, often providing a high return on investment when it comes time to sell your home.
