You are well on your way to an energy efficient home with everything you have done. But before summer comes I would get those windows replaced as you suggested. You will not believe how much difference Low E dual pane windows will make.

I could literally feel the heat coming thru my old single pane windows here in Arizona. After the windows were installed it was so noticeable I couldn’t believe the difference. Some articles say that 30% of all heating and cooling is lost thru inefficient windows and I believe it.

New dual pane Low E windows should easily knock another $20-$40/mo. off your electric bill.

Enjoy

2. the dryer is in the garage.
3. in Florida, and this year as well as the past few, its raining all the time.
4. never had one here, its way to hot and humid.
5. 3 am in the morning is not when i want to be taking a shower.
6. probably 98 percent complete, very few incandescent lights
7. last thing I want is some more humidity
8. shading is great except when the 10 ton branches fall on your house.

Just some tongue in cheek for those that enjoy that…probably works well in Minnesota.

Best thing for me has been to replace the 25 year old air conditioner, replace the leaking duct work, blow a ton(tech term) of insulation in the attic, replace the 20 year old refrigerators, replace the 25 year old hot water heater, and get some really efficient washers and dryers. Saves around 150 a month in electric bills.
Still need to replace the single pane windows;-)
