Residential Windows, Doors, and Skylights for Consumers

Want more from your windows, doors, and skylights? Ask for ENERGY STAR.
ENERGY STAR qualified windows, doors and skylights reduce energy bills by about 7-24 percent, increase comfort, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes to achieve precisely the look you’re after.

Advisory: New Year, New Numbers

As of January 4, 2010, ENERGY STAR qualified windows, doors, and skylights will meet new performance levels (173KB). It will still be easy to find high-efficiency products: just look for the ENERGY STAR label.

In the next few months, you will see two new labels to help you choose windows, doors, or skylights for your home:

Starting October 1, 2009, you might see the label shown on the right, in red or in black, in combination with ENERGY STAR product labels. This label identifies high-efficiency products that currently qualify for the ENERGY STAR but will not meet the more stringent requirements that go into full effect April 1, 2010.

The other new label helps you find products that are eligible for the federal tax credit of up to $1,500. The label to the left, already visible in stores today, tells you the product qualifies for ENERGY STAR and is also eligible for the tax credit.
