Energy-Efficient Windows

Energy-Efficient Windows in Grand Rapids

A drafty single-pane window is a hole in your heating budget every time the furnace runs. Birchis upgrades tired units to ENERGY STAR rated windows with low-E coatings, argon gas fill, and warm-edge spacers, chosen against the U-factor and SHGC targets on the NFRC label for our northern climate zone. In a Grand Rapids winter, a lower U-factor is the number that keeps heat inside the house instead of leaking out toward Eastern Avenue.

Why Choose an Energy-Efficient Upgrade

• Lower heat loss. Double-pane and triple-pane insulated glass units with argon fill cut the heat that escapes through old glass.
• A warmer room. Low-E coatings and warm-edge spacers keep the interior glass warmer, which reduces the cold draft and condensation near the sill.
• Quieter, too. The added pane and gas layer dampen street noise along with the wind, a bonus on a busy road.

Our Process

We measure your openings and review the NFRC ratings with you, then match a glass package to each wall based on how much winter sun it sees. We install the sealed units square, flash and foam the perimeter, and check that every sash closes tight. A full-home upgrade in a 49506 neighborhood is usually a one to two day job.
