Smart Energy Efficient Windows

Make your Home Energy Efficient by SMART ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS WHAT?!? SOURCES OF HEAT GAIN Be it blazing hot summers or cold chilly winters, air conditioning systems are indispensable to make our homes comfortable. Energy efficient construction - walls, roofs, ceiling, floors, etc, not only helps reduce the load on air conditioning systems, but reduce our energy bills as well. BUT, inefficient windows can largely negate all these gains. Inefficient windows not only are "holes-in-the-wall", but "holes-in-the-wallet" resulting in high energy bills.
