Q: How often should I get my windows cleaned?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should get your windows cleaned <b>one to two times</b> annually, although you might want to complete this task more often if you live in an area with heavy pollen or heavy rain or snowfall that soils your windows. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to hire a professional window cleaning service if you&rsquo;re listing your property, as sparkling windows will make a big difference in terms of curb appeal and, potentially, your home&rsquo;s value.</p></div>

Q: How much difference do low-E windows make?

• <div><p>According to the <a href="https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/window-types-and-technologies">U.S. Department of Energy</a>, low-E windows can reduce energy loss by 30% to 50%. But the actual effect of low-E windows in your home will depend on many factors, like climate, number of windows, window treatments, and more. In terms of aesthetics, you may or may not notice a difference in how your windows look or how much natural light shines through. But overall, low-E windows look very similar to traditional windows. </p></div>

Q: How can you tell how old windows are?

• <div><p>Most manufacturers have their name imprinted somewhere on the window, such as the spacer bar, hardware, or frame. Other manufacturers will include an identification number printed on the glass itself. If you&rsquo;re unable to find either of these, then your window was manufactured locally (oftentimes called a &ldquo;shop window&rdquo;). </p><p>With a manufacturer name (or even better, the identification number) you can attempt to research the information to find out when the product was made. Keep in mind this won&rsquo;t tell you when the window was installed on your home, but can get you close.</p></div>

Q: What are the most energy-efficient windows?

• <div><p>ENERGY STAR&reg;-certified windows are the most energy-efficient windows on the market. This certification means that the window meets strict efficiency guidelines set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. While they might cost more upfront, they can save you money on your energy bills in the long run. ENERGY STAR&reg;-certified windows lower household energy bills by an average of 12% annually.</p></div>

Q: Are storm windows worth the cost?

• <div><p>Storm windows are well worth the cost, especially if you live in an area that experiences extreme weather, like hurricanes, a lot of snowfall, or high winds. These windows not only help keep you and your home safe during a storm, but they can also save you thousands in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-repairing-storm-or-wind-damage-cost.htm">storm and window damage costs</a>.</p></div>
