Energy Efficiency in Windows & Doors—How to Save Big on Your Utility Bills

In Toronto, where energy costs keep rising and the weather swings from -20°C in winter to +30°C in summer, energy-efficient windows and doors are more important than ever. They’re not just a green choice—they’re a smart investment.

At Canada Windows & Doors Inc., we help homeowners reduce energy bills and carbon footprints with high-performance products and professional installation.


How Energy Loss Happens

You might be surprised how much energy is lost through old windows and doors:

  • Up to 30% of heating and cooling loss is due to leaky windows
  • Air infiltration from poorly sealed frames
  • Single-pane glass is outdated and inefficient
  • Warped or rotted frames let moisture in and warmth out

What Makes a Window or Door Energy-Efficient?

  1. Low-E Glass Coatings: Reflect heat back into your home during winter and block UV rays in summer.
  2. Double or Triple Glazing: Multiple panes trap air or gas for insulation.
  3. Argon/Krypton Gas Fills: More effective than air at reducing heat transfer.
  4. Thermally Broken Frames: Prevent heat from moving through the frame.
  5. Proper Installation: Even the best window won’t perform if poorly installed.
