A mounting energy bill can be a real problem, not just because they are expensive but because it’s a sign that energy is being wasted within your home. If you’ve tried reducing energy through simple steps like switching out light bulbs or unplugging unused appliances, and your bills continue to climb, then choosing an energy-efficient window material like vinyl or fiberglass may be the solution you’re looking for. That’s because your windows and doors are the number one place for your heating and cooling efforts to be wasted.
