Energy Star Vinyl Windows and Doors

ENERGY STAR® is an internationally recognized symbol that indicates superior energy-efficiency in its class.  When evaluating your home’s needs, the ENERGY STAR® label is an easy and convenient way to identify the most energy-efficient products available.

ENERGY STAR® labelled windows

Thanks to advances in technology, today’s ENERGY STAR qualified windows, doors, and skylights offer greater savings than ever before. Replacing old windows with ENERGY STAR qualified windows lowers household energy bills by 7-15 percent. Lower energy consumption also reduces greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and shrinks a house’s carbon footprint.

Certified by an independently accredited agency for quality and energy performance, ENERGY STAR® windows can reduce condensation and outside noise, reduce heating costs, protect from sun damage and fading, and increase comfort by regulating temperature in hot and cold seasons.

They are an excellent long-term investment in comfort and value for your family and your home.

ENERGY STAR® windows offer these benefits:

• Double glazing with a sealed insulating glass unit, not only reducing energy costs, but also increasing comfort.
• Low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, which are like insulation and sunscreen on windows. This thin layer of transparent protection, applied in the gap between window glass panes, improves your family’s comfort by reducing the quantity of heat passing through the windows.
• Inert gas, such as argon or krypton, sealed between windowpanes results in reduced heat transfer and minimized condensation, increasing the windows’ insulation U-value and energy efficiency.
• Low conductivity spacer bars that prevent heat loss and minimize drafts.
• Lower overall heat loss ratings (U-values), meaning greater comfort with less energy used. 
• Heat transfer between the inside and outside of a home is slowed.
• Heat reflection that keeps the sun out during summertime and keeps rooms from feeling drafty
  during the winter. 
• Reduced fading of fabrics and wall coverings.
