Energy-savings worksheet
The in-home worksheet a rep fills out to turn your current power bill into a projected monthly “savings” that helps justify the price.
What it means for you
Energy savings from new windows are real but usually modest (~10–15%). Ask what assumptions the worksheet used; a projection is not a guarantee, and it's the number pitches inflate most.
Where you'll see it
Filled out live at your kitchen table, often just before the price.
Don't be fooled
Treat the projected savings as a best case, not a line you can bank against the payment.
