What to Expect From the New Energy Star Ratings on Windows

Are you trying to save money on your utility bills?  Then recent developments in replacement windows means good news for you.  

When January 2016 hit, a new year started, but this also meant a change for the EnergyStar ratings on windows. These changes meant that many in the northern parts of the country are able to get even more benefits for the windows that are meant to save them cash when installed in their homes. The U-factor of these windows now must meet or exceed specific codes that have been put into effect in order to be as efficient at keeping heat and cool air in the home as possible.

You’ve probably had windows that leaked air in the past. Everyone has, especially owners of older homes. However, the problem can be eliminated by installing energy-efficient replacement windows.   In order for the windows to be certified as energy efficient, they have to meet or exceed a minimum standard for the window as far as air leakage. A test is usually performed to find out how much air is going through the window.

 

Benefits of Energy Star Rated Products

Heat and cool air loss is common in many older homes when the windows and doors are not energy efficient. With new products that are Energy Star rated for performance, this can reduce up to 50% of your heat and cool air loss. This means saving additional cash every month in your heating and cooling bills, while also having a more stable climate as well as increased comfort inside your home.

Use this guide to help you understand the EnergyStar ratings and savings that you get from new windows and doors.

Checking the EnergyStar ratings prior to having anything installed in your home is highly recommended. When you want to save cash, boost your value and ensure that everyone is comfortable inside the home year round, energy efficient products can help you achieve this.
