Energy Star Windows for Nashville Area Residents

Windows USA windows are ENERGY STAR certified for South-Central and Southern climate zones. According to ENERGY STAR, “Replacing old windows with ENERGY STAR certified windows lowers household energy bills by an average of up to 13 percent nationwide when replacing single-pane windows. Lower energy consumption also reduces greenhouse-gas 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 capped at $600 per year and for sliding glass doors at $250 per door per year.
• The Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) Program is not yet available for Tennessee homeowners because the state must first receive full approval and an executed agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy.

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

Nashville’s unique climate demands windows that can handle both hot summers and cold winters. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Nashville Metropolitan Area averages range from 32 °F – 50 °F in winter to 70 °F – 91 °F in summer, although extremes of ± 10 °F outside those ranges have been recorded. To protect against those extremes, all Windows USA windows have multi-chambered frames and sashes to prevent thermal transfer, and an innovative sash-interlocking system forms a continuous seal to resist air and water infiltration beyond industry standards.

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

Additionally, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information, the Nashville area generally receives 50 – 65 inches of precipitation annually, making it critical that your windows and patio doors are sealed from the elements. Windows USA’s sash-interlocking system, Intercept® Ultra airtight spacer, and strategically placed weep holes drain water and keep it outside.

Sunlight Strength in the Nashville Metropolitan Area Is an Important Factor in Window Selection!

According to the CDC, Nashville and Tennessee in general record a high Average Daily Dose of ultraviolet (UV) light.

UV Radiation’s Impact on You: Ordinary window glass allows UVA light indoors, and the Skin Cancer Foundation says UVA rays are a main cause of premature skin aging.
UV Radiation’s Impact on Your Windows and Sliding Patio Doors: Ultraviolet exposure can damage many materials, plus furniture, fabrics, flooring, artwork, and photos.

Windows USA windows and patio doors include a UV inhibitor so the vinyl color will not fade, flake, or peel—even under extreme conditions. Their triple-layer glass coating:

• Blocks more solar gain, reflects heat, and lets light stream in
• Outperforms tinted glass often used in warm climates
• Rejects the sun’s heat without spoiling visibility
• Blocks 95 % of harmful UV rays, protecting interior finishes
• Provides superior insulation for comfort when it’s cold outside

Proper indoor humidity is easier to maintain with warm-surface glass, improving comfort and fostering a healthier living environment.

Nashvillians should also consider sun path vs. window orientation; the DOE Consumer Guide to Energy-Efficient Windows details how orientation affects technical requirements.

The Prevalence of Tornadoes in the Nashville Area Is Another Factor

Tennessee sees a relatively high number of tornadoes. According to the NOAA Storm Prediction Center, many counties have logged high tornado counts over the past 35 years. No window can withstand a direct hit, but selecting reinforced, dual-pane windows and patio doors helps guard against other extreme weather.

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

Generally, the EPA’s Air Quality System shows good air across Tennessee, with some elevated particulate levels in Nashville. Airtight windows and patio doors mitigate outdoor pollutants; Windows USA products feature Intercept® Ultra spacers and a sash-interlocking system that resist air and water infiltration beyond industry standards.
