Choosing energy efficient models of windows and doors can help you reduce your energy use.
Save Energy
Every year, an ENERGY STAR certified home saves the same amount of energy as watching 17 hockey seasons on TV or running a refrigerator for 10 years. Imagine all of the energy being saved and used conscientiously if every home on your street was certified as ENERGY STAR.
Why is energy conservation important? Today, 17 percent of the energy consumed in Canada is used to operate our homes. By saving energy, we can help protect the environment.
Save Money
Budget-conscience households look for ways to save money every year. We cut back on our morning coffee grab, we make more lunches during the week, and we pass on dining out to stay on track. But, picture a savings source that is invisible yet still provides you with extra funds to go towards a money goal: a road-trip, paying for summer camp, attending a music festival, or buying that coveted leather jacket.
Did you know every homeowner of an ENERGY STAR certified home can save up to $300 per year in utility costs? There it is -the invisible money saver. These are savings that you get as soon as you start living in your new home. These savings are invisible, you will not see them or even feel the bills on your fingertips, but you will get those savings either way. So go ahead and grab your double espresso once in a while.
Don’t forget about installation
A poorly installed window, door or skylight may cause condensation, cold drafts or even allow water to leak into your home. And the damage water causes is usually invisible until it is very costly to fix.
