If you live in southeastern Wisconsin, you know how brutal winter can be. The snow piles up, the wind howls, and before you know it, your heating bill looks like another mortgage payment. The truth is, a lot of that wasted money isn’t just the cold weather, it’s your old windows letting the heat slip right out.
That’s where energy efficiency comes in. The right windows don’t just keep the drafts out. They keep your family warm, your furnace from working overtime, and more money in your pocket.
Why Energy Efficiency Matters in Wisconsin Winters
Energy efficiency is just a fancy way of saying your home isn’t wasting energy. Old, single-pane windows are some of the worst offenders. They let heat leak out in the winter and hot air pour in during the summer. That means your furnace and AC have to work harder, and you get stuck footing the bill.
Switching to energy-efficient windows is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. Less wasted energy = lower bills, fewer drafts, and a house that actually feels comfortable no matter what’s happening outside.
What Makes a Window Energy Efficient?
Not all windows are built the same. At All American Window & Door, we install ProVia and Soft-Lite windows because they’re some of the toughest and most efficient out there. Here’s what makes them different:
-
Double or Triple Panes: Two or three layers of glass with argon gas sealed in between. That gas works like insulation, slowing down heat transfer.
-
Low-E Glass: A special coating on the glass bounces heat back into your house in winter and keeps it out in summer.
-
Tight Seals: Good frames and solid construction stop those annoying drafts from sneaking in around the edges.
How to Tell if Your Windows Are Wasting Energy
Not sure if your windows are the problem? Here are a few quick signs:
-
You feel cold air near the windows in winter.
-
Your furnace never seems to stop running.
-
Your energy bills keep climbing every year.
-
You see condensation or fog between panes.
If that sounds familiar, your windows aren’t just old, they’re costing you money.
Why Professional Installation Matters
You might be handy, but windows aren’t something to cut corners on. Even the best energy-efficient window won’t work right if it’s not installed correctly. A poor fit means drafts, leaks, and wasted money.
That’s why folks all over southeastern Wisconsin trust All American Window & Door. We’ve been doing this for 40 years, and our crew knows how to get it right the first time.
More Than Just Lower Bills
1. Energy-efficient windows do a lot more than shrink your utility bill:
2.Keep your house warmer in winter and cooler in summer
3.Cut down on outside noise (no more listening to traffic at 2 a.m.)
4.Add value to your home if you ever decide to sell

And let’s be real, they just look a whole lot better than the old drafty ones.

Client Testimonials
Don’t just take it from us though! Hear what our clients have to say below!
GM Benjamin with Pedro and his work crew were exceptional, they were respectful of my house and they did beautiful work. GM Benjamin was open and honest about the work and gave us a great competitive price about replacing our 75 year old windows that the outside wood was falling apart in our fingers. Pedro and his work crew were so genuine, calm, and happy- I loved hearing them singing softly while they worked and all 3 men smiled often at us even through the stormy icky weather. What an awesome experience! One window had an hardware defect and they immediately sent out someone to fix with a temporary fix while the hardware was ordered – both men were friendly and kind, American windows fixed the defect happily. We look forward to working with them to complete the next set of windows in our house.
Wes was great with all the questions we had, including opening up the showroom after hours by appointment. Install was done well, they cleaned up and were courteous and nice. They even humored my kid to “help” a little. No issues so far, and we’d use All-American again for the rest of our windows.
