At Chaney Windows & Doors, we are a Provia Platinum Dealer specializing in high-quality vinyl windows that deliver long-lasting performance, energy savings, and beautiful curb appeal. In this blog, we’ll explain what makes a window energy efficient and why vinyl windows are a smart choice for Missouri homeowners.
Energy efficient windows:
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heat gain and loss through windows is responsible for 25%–30% of residential heating and cooling energy use. That means inefficient windows aren’t just uncomfortable—they’re expensive.
When shopping for energy-efficient windows in the Midwest, these features make all the difference:
Multiple layers of glass create insulating air spaces between panes, helping to reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
Low-E coatings are thin, invisible layers that reflect heat while still allowing light to enter your home. They help keep homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, all while reducing UV exposure that can fade furniture and flooring.
Between the panes, energy-efficient windows are filled with argon gas, a colorless, odorless gas that’s denser than air and offers better insulation. This helps reduce drafts and improve overall efficiency.
Vinyl windows are known for their energy efficiency, and one reason is the multi-chambered frame design. These chambers trap air, adding insulation and improving thermal performance—without the maintenance of wood or the cost of specialty materials.
All energy-efficient windows we install at Chaney meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® standards. That means they’ve been tested and proven to reduce energy use in homes across Missouri’s climate zone.
Missouri’s temperature swings—from icy winters to hot, humid summers—demand a window that can perform in every season. Vinyl windows are:
While other materials like wood or fiberglass are available as custom orders, we recommend vinyl windows for almost every project because of their proven performance and long-term value.
Homeowners who upgrade to ENERGY STAR-certified windows can save $100–$500+ per year on energy bills, depending on home size and insulation quality.
