Raytown, Missouri (prsafe) April 10, 2012 - Saving energy is not only good for the pockets; it's good for the environment also. When people cut down on energy bills, they're reducing the demand for fossil fuels, thereby lowering the emission of CO₂. Bordner Installation, a company specializing in windows replacement in Kansas City, demonstrates how simple yet effective measures can help people save energy.

According to Bordner, improper insulation is the main culprit in homes that spend a lot on energy. "Just by ensuring that walls and ceilings are properly insulated, an average home owner can save up to 30 percent of heating/cooling bills. Improperly insulated homes lose more than a quarter of the heat through the roof - simple loft insulation can save this heat for you. And contrary to what people think, this isn't expensive; simple blanket installation can be done to prevent the heat/ cold from escaping," says the spokesperson for Bordner Install.

Old and drafty windows are also responsible for high energy bills. Double glazing existing windows or replacing them with modern and energy efficient windows helps to contain the heat/cool air inside, thereby drastically reducing energy bills. "Many of our clients for whom we have replaced windows have been able to reduce expenses on energy. Seventy five percent of an average window is glass, and therefore this is the best opportunity for you to save on energy. UV protected fiberglass surely helps in this regard. It is also important that these windows are properly installed. Improper installation not only reduces the energy efficiency, but can also cause structural damage to your home and even void the manufacturer's warranty. But professionally trained installers can do the job with little or no damage," adds the spokesperson. The Kansas City Windows Company employs professionals who are trained under industry accredited courses, says the spokesperson.

Besides these simple ideas like planting shade trees, using light paint color for those who live in a warm climate and a dark paint color for those who live in cold climates; cleaning and replacing air condition filters, replacing old light bulbs with CFL bulbs, and installing energy efficient doors will also go a long way in minimizing energy expenses, say experts at the Kansas City Doors installation and replacement company.
