Regarding your A/C bills, quality windows keep out the transfer of heat and cold in combination to what you have as insulation in the walls.

Our windows have UV film on them which the previous owner had installed. Not only does the film reduce glare in our home, it keeps it cooler and protects all our "stuff". mainly the furniture from UV rays. Our windows are the original double pane windows that were installed during the build.
