Lower Your Heating Bills This Winter: How Simonton Windows Improve Energy Efficiency in New England Homes

Let’s face it, heating a home in New England isn’t cheap. Whether you’re dealing with full on Nor’easters in Massachusetts, or just freezing winds and icy mornings in Connecticut—keeping your house warm can come with a high price tag. And if your windows are outdated or drafty, you might as well be throwing money right out of them.

That’s where Simonton® replacement windows come in. Built for performance, comfort, and year-round energy savings, they’re a smart upgrade for any New England homeowner who’s tired of battling the cold and the bills that come with it.

Drafty Windows = Rising Energy Bills

You might not think much about your windows—until they start costing you money.

Here are some telltale signs your current windows aren’t cutting it:

• Cold drafts near the glass or window frames
  
• Frost or condensation buildup on the inside
  
• Constantly running the heat just to stay comfortable
  
• Energy bills that creep up every winter
  

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s probably time to look into energy-efficient replacement windows.

How Simonton Windows Help You Stay Warm (and Save Money)

Simonton makes windows specifically designed to tackle the kind of cold, windy, and unpredictable weather we deal with here in New England. Here’s how they help reduce energy loss and improve comfort:

Multi-Pane Glass for Insulation

Simonton offers double- and triple-pane windows that trap heat inside and keep cold air out. Between the panes is either argon gas or air that creates an extra layer of insulation, like a puffer jacket for your home.

Low-E Glass Technology

Low-E (short for low emissivity) coatings help reflect indoor heat back into your home during the winter. You’ll still get all that beautiful natural light, but without the chill.

Vinyl Frames That Seal in Comfort

Simonton’s vinyl frames are fusion-welded for a tight, weather-resistant seal. Unlike wood, vinyl won’t warp, swell, or rot, so your windows keep performing year after year, no matter what Mother Nature throws at them.

ENERGY STAR® Certified

All Simonton windows are ENERGY STAR® rated, meaning they meet (or exceed) performance standards for cold-climate regions like ours. That translates to lower heating costs, greater efficiency, and better all-around comfort.

How Much Can You Actually Save?

Let’s talk numbers.

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. That’s no small change, especially with heating oil, natural gas, and electricity prices on the rise.

Plus, many New England states offer rebates, tax credits, or incentives for upgrading to energy-efficient windows. Check with your local energy provider or state website to see what’s available in your area.

More Than Savings: Everyday Comfort, All Season Long

Energy-efficient windows aren’t just about the bill—they’re about how your home feels.
