Ensure You’re Getting ENERGY STAR Products

To ensure you’re getting authentic ENERGY STAR products, you’ll first want to look for the ENERGY STAR label and verify it has passed all requirements. Second, you will look at the energy performance rating from the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), which is equally as important as the ENERGY STAR label. The ENERGY STAR label indicates that a product is energy-efficient while the NFRC label helps compare energy-efficient products by giving independent ratings in several energy performance categories. Having the right label will guarantees that you are selecting windows and doors that provide energy efficiency characteristics that are the most appropriate for your geographic location.
