Looking for Energy Efficient Windows? It's SIMPLE...

The ENERGY STAR label the symbol for energy efficiency  makes choosing high performance, energy efficient windows simple. Window shoppers no longer need to be concerned with companies claiming their windows have this R-value, that air-infiltration or boasting about other confusing or misleading data. A window with the ENERGY STAR label is your assurance that it is a tested and certified high performance product that can significantly reduce annual home energy bills. ENERGY STAR is a program of the U.S. Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency.

WeatherMaster is a proud partner of ENERGY STAR and encourages homeowners to consider ENERGY STAR labeled products in their remodeling and home improvement plans. Additional information is available at the ENERGY STAR website.

SPECIAL NOTE:
When checking U and SHGC values, make sure they are "WHOLE WINDOW" values, not "GLASS" or "CENTER OF GLASS" ratings. ENERGY STAR criteria only uses whole window values which are more difficult to attain, and more closely represent the energy efficiency of a window.

Energy Policy Act Tax Credit

While the Energy Policy Act Tax Credit expired on December 31, 2007, we're hopeful that Congress will bring it back with even more incentives before the end of the year.  Be sure to call your Congressman or drop them a line demanding a comprehensive plan for American energy independence!

Interesting Facts: Money Isn't All You're Saving

• If all residential windows in the United States were replaced with ENERGY STAR qualifying models, the nation would save $134 billion in energy costs over the next 15 years.
