Label on Your Windows

Why the ENERGY STAR Label Matters

ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) voluntary program that promotes energy-efficient products to help protect our environment. Energy-efficient appliances and building products not only help conserve our resources, but they can also help reduce energy use and save money.

As a trusted window company, we install ENERGY STAR-certified windows. Here’s what you can expect from our products:

  • Sustainability – ENERGY STAR-labeled products are made under responsible manufacturing operations and sourcing methods to minimize the negative impact on the ecosystem. Thanks to the smart use of materials, many ENERGY STAR-certified products have long life cycles. This can help reduce landfill waste.

  • Excellent Energy Performance – An ENERGY STAR-labeled product is built according to strict standards. To qualify, a product must have excellent energy performance ratings. Energy ratings for replacement windows include the U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), and more.

How Renewal by Andersen Can Help You

The Andersen Corporation, our parent company, has supported the ENERGY STAR program and its mission since 1998. That’s why we constantly innovate our products to improve their energy ratings. This way, we can give you the best value for your money while making your home greener. For example, our windows feature our exclusive Fibrex® frame material that has the strength and insulating power of wood with the minimal maintenance needs of vinyl.  Our windows also come with High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass to increase your home’s energy efficiency and protect your interior from UV rays.
