You are looking to invest in replacement windows for your home and then you hear people throwing around terms like U-factor … and you wonder if you really need to understand this concept.

It is imperative that you at least understand a little about Ufactor, especially if you are hoping to capitalize on the $1,500 tax rebate during 2009. I promise we will keep this as simple as possible.

U-factor, stands for the phrase, overall heat transfer coefficient.

Now before you click to get off of this page, all this basically means is how well will a window conduct heat. Even simpler then that we could say that depending on how a window is made, what it is made of, and what gases are used between the plates of glass — “how much heat will leak into a home and how much heat will leak out of your home?“

Why is this so important? Well, all of us are trying to be conscious of our energy resources, especially when we have to pay the heating or cooling bill at the end of the month.

How can you tell? It is simple. There is a little sticker on the window that shows its energy performance rating. This sticker is often called the NRFC label. This is administered by the National Fenestration Rating Council.

Every window has a different U-factor. A double pane window will have a better U-factor than a single pane window. Energy efficient windows are a step up from a standard double pane window.

However, to qualify for the $1,500 window tax credit for 2009 your U-factor must be equal or less than 0.30. Check your NRFC label to verify. You will also need to check the windows SHGC rating too.
