How to Keep your Home Cool in Summer

When Wisconsin summers bring in the heat and humidity, your home should be a cool and comfortable retreat. But if your windows are outdated or inefficient, your air conditioner may be working overtime — and so is your energy bill.

Energy-efficient windows aren’t just for harsh winters — they play a major role in keeping your home cool during summer, too. At Renewal by Andersen of Milwaukee and Greater Wisconsin, we specialize in window solutions designed specifically to handle all four seasons.

Let’s explore how our energy-efficient windows help you beat the heat.

Why Summer Heat Puts Your Windows to the Test

During hot summer months, sunlight pours through your windows, raising indoor temperatures. If your current windows don’t have adequate insulation or UV protection, the sun’s heat quickly penetrates your home, making your air conditioner work harder.

Older or poorly sealed windows can also leak cool air, creating uneven temperatures in your home and wasted energy.

How Energy-Efficient Windows Keep You Cool

Renewal by Andersen’s energy-efficient windows are engineered to perform in both heat and cold. Here’s how they make a difference:

1. Low-E Glass Blocks Heat

Our advanced Low-E (low emissivity) glass coatings reflect solar heat away from your home while still letting natural light in. This minimizes temperature gain and reduces the need for constant air conditioning.

2. Seamless Seals and Insulation

Unlike older windows that allow drafts, our custom-fit installation and Fibrex® composite material reduce air leakage. This ensures that cool, conditioned air stays inside, right where it belongs.

3. UV Protection for Your Home

Energy-efficient windows also block harmful UV rays that can fade furniture, floors, and fabrics over time. You get a cooler home and better interior protection.

Energy Savings You Can Feel

Wisconsin homeowners who switch to energy-efficient windows often see a noticeable drop in their summer energy bills. Less reliance on cooling systems means more money in your pocket each month — and a smaller carbon footprint.

Ready to Stay Cool This Summer?

If your windows are making your home hotter — not cooler — it might be time to consider an upgrade. Our team at Renewal by Andersen of Milwaukee and Greater Wisconsin is here to help you find the perfect energy-saving solution.

Hear From Our Customers

I cant express how happy we are with choosing Andersen for our window installation. Our sales representative was knowledgeable with product and answered any questions we had without hesitation. I did also fill out a survey that was sent in an email, but sadly I failed to personally name the two gentlemen that performed the actual installation. Barrett and Francisco were our guys, and let me tell you, they were outstanding!!! They did Excellent work and were professional as well as efficient and made this a smooth, none evasive process for us. I strongly recommend this company and these installers to anyone in need of windows!!! My husband and I could not be more pleased we chose Andersen for replacing our windows!!!

Jason and Brett did an awesome job installing our doors. We had separate installers a month earlier for our windows who also did a fantastic job. They were all very professional and cleaned up almost better than the area looked before the installation! Since these were both jobs that took more than one day the installers were great at keeping us informed on the status of where the project was at along the way.

This was a great crew to work with. Both the original install manager we worked with (Jay) and the install team (Daniel, Mason, Tony, Ethan, and Jose). Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. They answered all my questions and the end result on the house is great. In 3 days they replaced an old bay window with a new bay window, a set of french doors on the patio with a sliding patio door, and our old front door with a new front door and storm door.
