How your old Windows are costing you money.
Here’s why holding on to old windows is costing you money, and what you can do about it.
Drafts and Air Leaks
If your windows are more than 15 years old, chances are the seals are worn down. Tiny gaps around the frames or between the panes create air leaks that you can’t always see, but you can definitely feel.
Those leaks make your AC unit work harder to keep the house cool. Even a small draft can add up to hundreds of dollars wasted every year in energy costs.
Older windows often leak air and drive up energy bills
Single-Pane vs. Modern Windows
A lot of older homes in Texas were built with single-pane windows. Back then, they were standard. Today, they’re basically dinosaurs. Single-pane glass does almost nothing to insulate your home from the heat.
Modern energy efficient windows are built with double or triple panes, special coatings, and insulated frames. That means less heat transfer, less wasted energy, and more comfort year-round.
Modern energy-efficient windows make a huge difference compared to old single-pane glass.
Poor Insulation = Higher Bills
Old window materials like aluminum frames or warped wood don’t just look worn down… they perform poorly, too. With little to no insulation, they let outside air flow freely into your home.
That’s why your AC runs longer, cycles more often, and still leaves you feeling like you’re fighting the heat. The end result? A monthly bill that stings every time you open it.
Heat Transfer and UV Rays
Texas sun doesn’t play around. Old windows let UV rays and heat pour into your home. Not only does that raise your indoor temperature, it also fades your flooring, furniture, and curtains over time.
Energy efficient windows with Low E glass coatings block most UV rays while keeping the natural light. That means lower cooling costs and longer life for the stuff you worked hard to pay for.

The Cost of Waiting
A lot of homeowners tell themselves they’ll replace their windows “next year.” But the truth is, waiting costs you money every single month.
Think about it. If your windows are adding $50–$100 extra to your energy bill every month, that’s $600–$1,200 a year. Multiply that by a few years, and you could have already paid for new windows with the money you lost to the power company.
