What Type of Window is Most Energy Efficient?

When it comes to energy efficiency, not all windows are created equal. With countless options on the market, finding the best one for your home can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry, we’ve done the research so you don’t have to. The answer is clear: our 9000 Series window by Harvey is the gold standard for energy efficiency.

Why Is Energy Efficiency Important?

Energy efficiency is a key consideration when choosing windows for your home. Efficient windows can significantly lower your energy bills by keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They enhance indoor comfort by reducing drafts and maintaining consistent temperatures, and they help reduce your carbon footprint by minimizing energy use for heating and cooling. In Atlanta’s hot, humid summers and chilly winters, having energy-efficient windows is essential for ensuring year-round comfort. Not to mention they save you money in the long run.

Meet the 9000 Series Window by Harvey

So what makes the 9000 Series window by Harvey so special? Let’s break it down:

1. Industry-Leading Air Infiltration Rating

Air infiltration measures how much outside air can sneak through your windows, and with the 9000 Series, the answer is practically none. This window has the lowest air infiltration rating on the market, which means it keeps your home sealed tight. No more drafts or wasted energy!

2. Superior U-Factor and SHGC

The U-factor measures how well a window prevents heat from escaping your home, while the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures how well it blocks heat from the sun. The 9000 Series offers:

• A U-factor of .25
• An SHGC of .18

These ratings are exceptionally low, meaning the 9000 Series excels at keeping heat where it belongs—out in the summer and in during the winter.

3. Energy Efficiency Extras

• Double-Pane Glass: The 9000 Series comes standard with 2-panes of 7/8-inch glass, incorporating two layers of LowE coating and argon gas fills. This advanced glazing system significantly reduces heat transfer, enhancing insulation and lowering energy costs.
• Foam-Filled Frames: Heavy-duty foam-filled vinyl frames resist heat and cold transfer, providing an additional layer of insulation that contributes to the window’s superior thermal performance.

4. Superior Design and Durability

The 9000 Series is made from vinyl, also known as UPVC. This material is not only durable and low-maintenance but also highly energy-efficient. Vinyl frames help reduce heat transfer and improve insulation, making them a smart choice for Atlanta homeowners. Beyond the efficiency, the 9000 Series offers features that enhance both aesthetics and functionality:

• Recessed Cam-Action Locks: These provide a sleek appearance while ensuring secure locking mechanisms.
• Low-Profile Sashes: The design includes low-profile top and bottom sashes, contributing to a modern look and maximizing the glass area for better views and natural light.
• Decorative Exterior Molding: Adds an elegant touch to your home’s exterior, enhancing curb appeal.

5. Enhanced Performance Options

For homeowners seeking the highest performance standards, the 9000 Series offers additional upgrades:

• EnergyTek Spacer System: An optional feature that further improves thermal performance by reducing heat transfer at the edges of the glass.
• Fiberglass Reinforced Meeting Rails: Available in some sizes, this option provides increased structural strength, meeting Florida’s DP-50 approval for impact resistance.
