May 16, 2025
Our Replacement Window Installers Are Near You Today!
Drafty windows let your air conditioning escape and let hot summer air inside your home. This puts your AC to work overtime, driving up your electricity bill.
To save money on air conditioning, get window replacements from Continental Siding. Our replacement windows can make your home more energy efficient, so you save money on your utilities this summer and quickly see a return on your investment.
There’s no need to go searching for window replacement near you; Continental Siding helps homeowners in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and northwest Arkansas.
Your Old Windows Are Costing You Money
Your old windows could have broken seals or panes of glass that let in heat from the sun. Because your home isn’t a steady temperature due to these window characteristics, your air conditioning could be cycling on and off more than necessary to try to keep your home cool.
When your thermostat senses heat from drafty windows, it kicks your AC on again and again to keep the temperature under control. You’ll pay the price for it in rising energy bills every month.
Where do you fit in? Compare your bill to the average energy bills in the metropolitan areas we serve, according to RentCafe’s cost of living calculator. Keep in mind these averages consider all household sizes. Your energy bill may be significantly more, and replacement windows could help you save.
| Major City | Average Energy Bill |
|---|---|
| Kansas City, MO | $216.81 |
| Columbia, MO | $173.12 |
| Springfield, MO | $136.53 |
| Oklahoma City, OK | $187.43 |
| Tulsa, OK | $178.07 |
| Wichita, KS | $197.06 |
| Fayetteville, AR | $170.88 |
The Data Behind Energy-Efficient Window Replacements
Energy-efficient windows have advanced features:
- Low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings to block UV rays
- Multiple panes of glass filled with insulating gas
- Frames that minimize heat transfer
ENERGY STAR® reports that replacing single-pane windows with energy efficient ones can reduce your energy bills by up to 13%. For most households, that’s between $125 and $465 in savings per year.
Multiply that by the number of years you’ll live in your home after we install replacement windows, and you’re saving quite a bit of money, with your new windows paying for themselves over time.

Quick Fixes to Block Heat Aren’t Sustainable Solutions
Plastic coverings. Rolled towels. Aluminum foil. Heavy curtains. These are all common “quick fixes” people try to keep the summer heat outside and the AC inside.
But plastic, foil, and heavy curtains interfere with your ability to see outside and can make your home feel dark like a cave. And rolled towels are an unattractive addition that ultimately doesn’t do much, except clutter up your room or suddenly fall off the sills when your grandkids come over.
Upgrade to new windows instead of feeling frustrated with your old ones. Continental Siding will show you our available window solutions, so you can choose what’s best for your home and your lifestyle. Our replacement windows are American-made and come in all shapes, sizes, styles, and colors.
