See how replacing old windows with Andersen 100, 400, or A-Series can cut heating costs in Milwaukee by up to 30% while boosting comfort.
We get this question all the time:
The honest answer?
Yes — but not all windows, and not all homes, are the same.
If you live in the Milwaukee area, where winters are long and bitter cold, and summers bring sudden heat waves, your windows do more than let in light. They can either protect your home from the elements… or leak energy every single day.
If your home still has original windows — or worse, single-pane glass — you’re likely losing a surprising amount of heat in the winter and cool air in the summer.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heat gain and loss through windows account for 25–30% of residential energy use.
In Wisconsin’s climate, that adds up fast. Every draft you feel near a window is money leaving your home.
The most efficient windows today have design features built for harsh Midwest weather:
Two or three panes with insulatinggas between them drastically cut heat transfer.
Reflect heat back into your home in winter and block UV rays in summer, without darkening your rooms.
Andersen’s 100 Series uses Fibrex® composite inside and out for low maintenance and superior strength. The 400Series offers a stainable or paintable wood interior with a vinyl-clad exterior. The A-Series combines real wood interiors (pine, maple, oroak) with a Fibrex® exterior for premium performance.
Even the best window fails if installed poorly. We ensure a perfect fit, insulation, and sealing every time.
Replacing 10 older, single-pane windows with high-performance Andersen windows can save $125–$465 per year in our climate. Homes with drafty wood or aluminum frames often save more.
If you already have Andersen windows, we can match your new ones for a seamless look.
Homeowners in Milwaukee tell us their homes feel quieter, more comfortable, and free from drafts. Many say their furnace runs less often and condensation issues disappear.
