How to Choose Energy-Efficient Windows for Utah’s Changing Climate

If you live in Utah, you know how extreme the seasons can get—hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. That’s why upgrading to energy-efficient windows isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a smart investment that can lower your utility bills and make your home more comfortable year-round.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose the right energy-efficient windows for Utah’s unique climate—and how 2 Brothers Window & Glass Replacement can help.

Why Energy Efficiency Matters in Utah

Utah homeowners face:

• High summer heat that can drive up AC costs

• Cold winters that push heating systems to the max

• Strong UV exposure, especially at higher elevations

Energy-efficient windows reduce energy loss, regulate indoor temperatures, and protect interiors from sun damage—all while potentially qualifying you for rebates or tax credits.

Key Features to Look For

✅ Low-E Glass

Low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings reflect heat while allowing light to pass through. In Utah, dual Low-E coatings are ideal to keep heat out in the summer and in during the winter.

✅ Double or Triple Pane Windows

More panes mean better insulation. In colder Utah regions like Park City or Logan, triple-pane windows may offer the best thermal performance.

✅ Gas Fills (Argon or Krypton)

Between panes, inert gas fills provide superior insulation over just air. This improves energy efficiency without affecting visibility.

✅ ENERGY STAR Certification

Always check for the ENERGY STAR label, especially for windows rated for the Mountain region. These are tested and proven for Utah’s climate.

Best Window Frame Materials for Utah Homes
