How a Climate Solutions Green Partnership Is Helping Illinois Homeowners Save on Energy Costs
Shorewood, United States – March 7, 2026 / Greater Midwest Exteriors /
As energy costs continue to climb for Midwest homeowners, the demand for energy-efficient home improvements has grown alongside them. Greater Midwest Exteriors, a family-owned exterior remodeling company based in Shorewood, Illinois, has announced a partnership with Climate Solutions Green to expand energy-efficient window installation options for homeowners across the state.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heat gain and heat loss through windows are responsible for 25 to 30 percent of residential heating and cooling energy use. For Illinois homeowners facing harsh winters and humid summers, upgrading to high-performance windows can meaningfully reduce utility expenses.
“Energy efficiency is one of the first things homeowners ask about when they are considering window replacement,” said Nico Soave, owner and CEO of Greater Midwest Exteriors. “Our partnership with Climate Solutions Green allows us to offer window products that are specifically engineered for the kind of temperature extremes we experience here in the Midwest.”
Climate Solutions Green manufactures windows designed to minimize heat transfer through advanced glazing technology and insulated frames. The partnership gives Greater Midwest Exteriors access to the full Climate Solutions Green product line, which the company will offer alongside existing window brands including Marvin, Andersen, and Pella.
Illinois homeowners who install ENERGY STAR-certified windows may also qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $600 through 2032 under Section 25C of the Inflation Reduction Act. Soave noted that the availability of tax incentives has increased homeowner interest in energy-efficient upgrades throughout the Chicagoland area.
Greater Midwest Exteriors provides free window inspections and estimates for homeowners considering window replacement services. The company serves communities within a 100-mile radius of its Shorewood headquarters, including Joliet, Naperville, Aurora, Bolingbrook, and Plainfield.
