The book Why… Buy Replacement Windows? became an instant success when published in 2008. Why? Windows represent one of the most fragile components of the “envelope” which surrounds the living area of your home.
Ask yourself – why is the government offering up to $1,500 as a tax credit if you replace the windows in your home with energy efficient models which meet specific requirements (less than .30 U factor)?
Immediately, you may ask what is the (U) Factor and why do you have to meet this standard to get a tax credit? The answer – the (U) factor is the measurement of how much heat is transferred through a window. A lower (U) Factor represents better insulation and less heat flow.
The book explains how a properly insulated window contains the heat manufactured inside for heating purposes and reflects heat gain when the air conditioner is on.
The book was written for homeowners and contains information on how to understand manufacturer specifications, how to select a contractor and how to protect yourself when contracting for products such as this. The book is simple to read and has explanations for all technical terms created and supported by Federal agencies and industry evaluation groups.
Dayo Yoho, the author, has been kind enough to share an excerpt of his book with the readers of Home Remodeling Ideas. Visit Fix The Home to read the first chapter of Why… Buy Replacement Windows?
