Is energy efficiency in your home a priority? If not, we highly suggest moving it to the top of your home remodeling list. Whether you’re planning on long-term living in your home or selling it in the near future, here are some things to consider:
We believe that one door and window manufacturer we partner with stands out in this area: ProVia. And our customers overwhelmingly agree – 65% of them choose ProVia products.
This company has made energy efficiency their priority for years. Since 2002, ProVia has been an EnergyStar partner, and year after year they’ve received the Partner of the Year Award. (The U.S. Department of Energy announced new specifications for qualification in the fall of 2002.) Requirements for this designation are independent testing that shows the particular product meets or exceeds standards as well as being high performing in a variety of climate conditions.
How important is this designation? In October of 2023, the EnergyStar criteria were updated to 7.0, to reflect changing climate patterns. EnergyStar window/door/skylight manager recently stated,If all residential windows and doors sold in the United States were certified to ENERGY STAR Version 7.0, the energy cost savings would grow to more than $156 billion each year and more than 53 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions would be avoided annually.”
ProVia also practices what it preaches (and manufactures). As a company it is committed to both environmental stewardship and energy efficiency in its operations. Yet another reason we’ve chosen to partner with them.
