As a homeowner, you have a lot of choices for home improvement services. In today’s post, we discuss why you should hire a company that installs ENERGY STAR® replacement doors and windows.

Energy Star Program

The ENERGY STAR Program was created by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1992. The ENERGY STAR label is awarded to energy-efficient products. ENERGY STAR has become synonymous with energy-efficient and environmentally conscious companies and products.

What Is the ENERGY STAR Award?

Without getting too technical, windows and doors with the ENERGY STAR label allow minimal heat transfer, are more effective at blocking heat or collecting heat and finally, have a low air leakage rating than other products. All these qualities combined will improve how efficiently your home uses energy, thus lowering your monthly energy bills.

What Does This Mean for You?

Energy-efficient replacement windows and doors that qualify for the ENERGY STAR label vary in regard to whether they block or collect heat. One or the other may be appropriate, depending on your local climate, which way your windows face and the shading around your home. Findlay is located in the North ENERGY STAR zone, one of four zones across the United States.

When hiring a home improvement service for patio door installation or window replacement, it’s important to find a company that installs ENERGY STAR doors and windows. They should also understand what’s necessary for your home and your local climate, allowing them to provide the most energy-efficient solutions for your family.
