Energy Star Windows for Greenville Area Residents

Windows USA windows are ENERGYSTAR certified forSouth Central and Southern climate zones.According to ENERGYSTAR, “Replacing old windows with ENERGY STAR certified windows lowershousehold energy bills by an average of up to 13 percent nationwide whenreplacing single-pane windows. Lower energy consumption also reduces greenhousegas emissions from power plants and homes.”

Rebates & Tax Incentives :

• According to the IRS’ Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit program, “if you make qualified energy-efficient improvements to your home after Jan. 1, 2023, you may qualify for a tax credit”, which, for windows is set at a maximum of $600 per year and for sliding glass doors is set at $250 per door per year.  
• The state of Mississippi has various state and local programs run by utilities like Mississippi Power and Entergy offering rebates for new energy efficient windows.  There are a number of requirements and details that you should investigate to ensure that you qualify and to apply correctly when the program is active.

Why Greenville Homeowners Need Windows USA Windows and Sliding Patio Doors!

Greenville’s unique climate demands windows that can handle both hot summers and cold winters.  According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Greenville average temperatures range from 35°F to 52°F in the winter to 70°F to 92°F in the summer, although extremes in heat (+10°F higher than normal range) and cold (-20°F lower than normal range) temperatures have been recorded.  To protect against those temperature extremes, all Windows USA windows have multi-chambered frames and sashes to create space that prevents thermal transfer, creating one of the strongest vinyl windows available, and an innovative sash interlocking system creates a strong continuous seal to resist air and water infiltration beyond industry standards.

Greenville Area Rain and Snow Makes Choosing the Right Windows and Patio Doors Critical

Additionally, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information, the Greenville area generally receives between 50 and 80 inches of precipitation annually, making it critical that your windows and patio doors are sealed from the elements, like Windows USA’s innovative sash interlocking system creates a strong continuous seal to resist air and water infiltration beyond industry standards, Intercept® Ultra, which provides an airtight seal, and ‘weep holes’, which are small areas strategically placed in window frames to allow for exterior water to drain out, keeping water outside.

Sunlight Strength in the Greenville area Is an Important Factor in Window Selection!

According to the CDC, the Greenville area, and the state of Mississippi in general, has Average Daily Dose of Ultraviolet (UV) light on the higher end of their scale vs. other states in the continental United States. 

• UV Radiation’s Impact on You:
  
  • According to the International Ultraviolet Association, ordinary window glass allows UVA light to enter your home.  And the Skin Cancer Foundation says that UVA rays are a main cause of premature skin aging. 
• UV Radiation’s Impact on Your Windows and Sliding Patio Doors:
  
  • Ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths can penetrate solid surfaces, significantly damaging most materials that receive overabundant exposure. Vinyl and other materials can have undesirable mechanical, physical and chemical consequences of the resulting degradation from solar radiation, leading to cracking, chalking, color changes and the loss of physical properties without protection. 
• UV Light from sunlight can damage furniture, fabrics, flooring, and artwork & photos, among other items. 

Windows USA’s Alaskan Windows System windows and patio doors have a UV inhibitor added to ensure the vinyl color will not fade, flake, or peel, even under extreme conditions.  The glass in our windows and patio doors are made with triple-layer coating that:

• blocks even more solar gain, reflects heat, and lets the light stream in.
  
  • It even outperforms the tinted glass often used in warm climates.
  • It is formulated to reject the sun’s heat without spoiling visibility.
• It blocks 95% of the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays, protecting your furniture, carpets, curtains and wall coverings for years to come.
• It has superior insulating capability, helping to keep your home comfortable when it’s cold outside. 
  
  • The dramatic comfort improvement from windows with warm glass surfaces also means the relative humidity of the indoor air can be controlled and maintained properly. Proper humidity levels improve comfort and promote a healthier living environment.

Greenville residents should also consider the direction the sun travels every day, to which direction their windows face, and the strength of the sun as they think about their new window requirements, both from a tinting perspective, but also from the amount of sunlight the windows will have to handle without fading or melting.

In fact, accordingto the U.S. Department of Energy, which direction your windows face mightchange the technical requirements of those windows:

Greenville Air Quality and How That Impacts Your Choice of Windows and Sliding Patio Doors

Generally, according to the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Air Quality System (AQS), the airquality across most of Mississippi is very good, with some areas ofslightly elevated particulate matter in the air in metropolitan citiesspecifically. Windows and patio doors with air-tight seals help mitigate therisks of poorer quality air.  Windows USA’s windows and patio doorsinclude Intercept® Ultra to provide an airtight seal and the innovative sashinterlocking system creates a strong continuous seal to resist air and waterinfiltration beyond industry standards.

Noise Exposure for Greenville Residents

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Mississippigenerally does not have high levels of noise exposure (aviation, highway, and rail noise)compared to other areas of the country, with the exception of cities like Greenvillewhich does show high levels of noise.  Your distance from airports, largerroads and rail lines are different than this average data, and could lead tohigher or lower levels of noise pollution at your house.  Noise pollution“adversely affects the lives of millions of people”, with “direct links betweennoise and health”, according to the EnvironmentalProtection Agency.  Enjoy a quieter home environment with our doublepane windows that effectively block outside noise, perfect for the Greenville’smetroplex’s bustling neighborhoods.
