Save Energy and Stay Comfortable: Why Retrofit Windows Are a Smart Choice for Florida Homes

Keeping your home comfortable year-round is no small task in Central Florida. Our summers bring intense heat and humidity; even our “cooler” months can leave you running the AC. If your home still has older single-pane or poorly insulated windows, all that cool air is likely going right out the window, along with your hard-earned money.

One of the most effective ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency is through retrofit windows, and RoMac Building Supply has the expertise and products to help you do it right.

What Are Retrofit Windows?

Retrofit windows (also called replacement windows) are new, energy-efficient windows installed into your existing window frames. This means you don’t have to tear out walls or do major remodeling to upgrade your windows, making retrofit installations faster, more affordable, and less disruptive than full-frame replacements.

Why Retrofit Windows Matter in Florida

Older homes throughout Central Florida often have outdated windows that were never designed to handle today’s energy demands or our climate. Common problems include:

• Single-pane glass that allows heat to pass through easily

• Aluminum frames that conduct heat into the home

• Poor seals that let in humid air and let out conditioned air

• UV damage to furniture, flooring, and fabrics

Modern retrofit windows are engineered to solve these issues. The result? A home that stays cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and far more energy-efficient.

How New Windows Improve Energy Efficiency

Here’s what you gain by installing high-quality retrofit windows from RoMac:

• Double-pane or triple-pane glass creates an insulating barrier

• Low-E (low emissivity) coatings reflect heat and block UV rays

• Gas fills (argon or krypton) between panes further reduce heat transfer

• Improved seals and frames eliminate drafts and air leakage

Together, these features can dramatically reduce how hard your HVAC system has to work, which means lower energy bills month after month.

Real-World Savings

According to ENERGY STAR, upgrading from single-pane windows to ENERGY STAR-certified models can save a typical homeowner $126–$465 per year on utility costs, depending on home size and climate zone. In a state like Florida, with long cooling seasons, the potential savings can be even higher.
