Therefore,  NewSouth Windows manufactured right here in our hometown Tampa will be enjoyed by homeowners and Walmart shoppers in Ohio, Louisiana, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas as well as Florida.

For us, here in south western and central Florida, the energy companies bear the name of Progress Energy and TECO.  Many folks may not know, but despite the high energy bills we receive, (we call them monthly “Thank You” cards for the high energy prices we pay) our local energy companies want to partner with us to save energy.  Our energy companies are working to keep up with an ever increasing demand for energy, especially during peak usage times, and any energy savings relieves helps tremendously.

This is especially true during the hot summer months in Florida and lowering the cooling demand is the goal of most utilities companies.  If the peak cooling loads are minimized, additional generating capacity is not required.  This benefits everyone, keeping rates down.

Replacing old windows with energy efficient ones is an enormous step to this end, which is why the rebates are put into place. Click below for more information on rebates available for window replacements from your window company.

According to head of Duke Energy, homeowners in the south need to brace themselves for increased energy costs in 2012.  James E. Rogers, Duke’s chairman told consumers earlier this year to expect prices of energy to rise by a shocking 30% or more next year.

No one wants to spend more of their hard earned money on categories like electricity in the upcoming months, especially in an economy that dictates wise spending for all of us.   And certainly, we Southern folk are not about to give up our creature comforts like air conditioning and heat.  This is where efficiencies come in.

With new windows installed into your home, being energy efficient means that you lower costs on heating and cooling without sacrificing necessities like staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter.  New double pane windows, especially when replaced with old aluminum, single pane windows, can save you at least 30% off of your heating and cooling bill.  New windows will keep the heat where it belongs, and for most of the year in the south, that is outside.  Additionally, many energy companies offer rebates for replacement windows installed, as does the United States government.  For more information, call 813-626-6000 and ask about energy savings in 2012.

We hear much talk about doing our part to protect the environment and how we should try to reduce our “carbon footprint”. What does that really mean, and how can we really make a difference?

We can do our part by making small changes to conserve energy and not add to needless carbon emissions that undermine our environment.

According to the US Department of Energy, cooling and heating our home uses more than energy dollars than any other system in our home. The Department of Energy states that in most cases, 45% of our utility bill goes for heating and cooling. New double pane energy efficient windows can make a huge difference.
