What are the things you consider when replacing the windows in your home? Many people usually focus on looks first, but these days, energy efficiency is fast becoming a driving factor. In fact, the National Association of Home Builders recently stated that about 84% of millennials are willing to pay more for an energy-efficient home.
Renewal by Andersen® of Westchester and Fairfield County is the top provider of energy-efficient windows in Fairfield. In this post, we discuss the three things you should know about energy-efficient windows:
Certification
There are a number of seals you can look for to help you identify an efficient window. ENERGY STAR® is one of the most popular since it has a higher consumer brand awareness. Another one is the Home Innovation National Green Building Standard (NGBS) green certification which can make your home more marketable. You can also check for windows that bear the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) seal as it can qualify you for federal tax credits.
We are proud to offer products that bear these seals. In fact, we’ve taken it a step further by providing America’s first Green seal certified window, as part of our commitment to a sustainable future.
Triple Pane, Low-E windows
Our Fibrex™ frames and High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass windows have set the standards in the industry. These ensure higher energy savings and protect your home from harmful UV rays. In addition, these contribute to a lower solar heat gain, which are essential to window efficacy and a more comfy home.
