FAQs
- How do I know if I need replacement windows?
- Stand or sit in front of your windows on a chilly day, or better still, hold a candle at the window. If you see the flame flicker and you feel a draft, that’s a sign that your windows are letting outside air come in, and the heated air inside your home is escaping. Replacing your old windows with better quality windows will be a smart decision. New replacement windows have improved thermal and insulating properties in the glass that eliminates drafts, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
- What does it mean if windows are Green Seal Certified and/or Energy Star Rated?
- Green Seal Certification is the national nonprofit environmental organization that awards a “Green Seal” to products that meet environmental standards for energy efficiency.
Energy Star® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Energy Star® windows are rated by the National Fenestration Rating Council, an independent industry-wide standard for rating windows based on thermal insulating performance.
