Save With ENERGY STAR® Qualified Windows & Doors

If you want to save money on your heating and cooling bills—and ensure your home is as comfortable as it can be—then you will surely be interested in windows and doors that are ENERGY STAR® qualified.

WHAT IS ENERGY STAR®?

ENERGY STAR is a program run by the United States Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency, designed to help individuals and businesses protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR label can be affixed only to windows and doors that meet specific U-value and shading coefficient ratings for one or more regions of the U.S. These ratings are achieved through independent testing done to NFRC* standards. The ratings a window achieves will differ because of variables such as the glass used, style and product design.

Learn more about the ENERGY STAR program at www.energystar.gov.

* National Fenestration Ratings Council, a federal program created to establish standardized testing procedures and ratings of window and door product.

GORELL ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED WINDOWS

Practically all Gorell vinyl windows and patio doors that incorporate any of Gorell's numerous low-emissivity (Low-E) high-performance insulating glass systems meet ENERGY STAR requirements and therefore are ENERGY STAR labeled. Gorell windows have consistently achieved some of the highest NFRC ratings in the industry.
