Summer heat puts a massive strain on air conditioning systems.

This efficiency is a huge benefit during the hottest months, helping you maintain a cool home without excessive energy waste.
Frequently asked in New Haven
Do hurricane impact windows really work in New Haven?
Yes, hurricane impact windows are designed to work effectively here in New Haven. They're built with specialized laminated glass and reinforced frames to withstand high winds and projectile impacts. This means they can significantly reduce the risk of your windows shattering during severe weather events. You'll have greater protection against water intrusion and structural damage. It's a smart investment for any New Haven homeowner.
What's the difference between storm windows and impact windows?
Storm windows are typically a temporary addition, meant to be installed before a storm and removed afterward. Impact windows, on the other hand, are permanent installations that offer year-round protection. They are designed to withstand direct impacts from debris at high speeds. In New Haven, permanent impact windows provide continuous security and energy efficiency. Storm windows might offer some protection, but impact windows are the more robust solution.
What exactly are impact windows, and how do they work?
Impact windows are essentially windows built to a higher standard of strength and resilience. They feature a strong interlayer, often PVB, sandwiched between two panes of glass. This interlayer keeps the glass from shattering when hit by flying debris, even if the glass cracks. The entire window assembly, including the frame, is designed to resist extreme wind pressure and impacts. They offer superior protection for your New Haven home.
What are the downsides to having impact windows installed?
One potential drawback is the initial cost compared to standard windows, though long-term savings on insurance and energy can offset this. Some people also find the slight tint or distortion in certain impact window designs to be noticeable. However, for residents in New Haven facing unpredictable weather, the enhanced security and protection they offer usually outweigh these minor considerations. They are a worthwhile upgrade.
How much does one impact window cost in New Haven?
Are there cheaper impact window options available?
While 'cheap' might not be the right word for impact windows, there are options that offer good value. The price often depends on the manufacturer and the specific features you choose. Some brands might offer more budget-friendly lines that still meet safety standards. For the most cost-effective solution that still provides excellent protection, it's wise to compare quotes for different types. We can help you find the right balance.
