How to Save Energy with New Windows

	There's probably nothing that can change the "feel" of a room more than installing new windows. Over time, some of today's energy-efficient windows can pay for themselves by lowering heating and cooling bills by up to 25%.
Look for insulated windows that meet or exceed the Department of Energy's "energy star standards." Ron also recommends purchasing windows with a low-e coating on the glass. This invisible barrier helps reduce heat transfer and cuts down on the UV rays that can fade carpets, walls and furniture. Many of today's windows are also easier to install, maintain and clean than ever before. So when you're planning that next room makeover, give some thought to starting with your windows.
