The Best Replacement Windows for Denver

The Best Replacement Windows for Denver

Denver is known for outdoor recreation, its quality of life and, of course, its elevation on the high plains of the Rocky Mountains. The Mile High City experiences extremes in weather from winter to summer, yet boasts a greater number of bright, sunny days than San Diego or Miami. While homeowners must contend with snow flurries and bitter, 30-degree temperatures in January, August is dry and sunny and a pleasant 72 degrees.

The relatively low humidity helps homeowners battle mold and mildew, but the cold winters and sunny summers present a challenge in finding the right replacement windows for Denver and environs. To protect their home investment and keep energy costs in check, Denver residents should shop for vinyl or fiberglass replacement windows that carry a U-factor that suits the range of temperatures at 5,000 feet in the Rockies.

Choosing Denver Window Replacements

According to the Efficient Windows Collaborative, the ideal Denver window U-factor--the measurement of heat loss through a window--is 0.35. You can find the replacement window U-factors listed on the National Fenestration Rating Council's label on the product. The label also identifies the replacement window's ratings when it comes to its Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, the total amount of sunlight and heat transmitted through the window into your home.

Through the end of 2010, Denver residents who select ENERGY STAR rated replacement windows may also qualify for up to $1,500 in Federal tax deductions for the cost for materials in a window replacement project for their home. The project must be completed by the end of the year. Ask about the program while shopping for replacement windows.
