ENERGY STAR^® Program

The international ENERGY STAR^® symbol is a simple way for consumers to identify products that are among the most energy-efficient on the market. Only manufacturers and retailers whose products meet the ENERGY STAR^® criteria can label their products with this symbol.

Choosing an ENERGY STAR^®-labelled product over a conventional model could save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs. For more detailed information - www.oee.nrcan.gc.ca/energystar/

Save more money with the federal ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes Program and the provincial LiveSmartBC Efficiency Incentive Program. Not only will you reduce your energy consumption but you’re also eligible to receive grants of up to $100 per window through ecoENERGY Retrofit and LiveSmartBC.

West Coast Windows is an ENERGY STAR^® Participant

Through the ENERGY STAR^® program, we demonstrate our social responsibility to the community and our commitment to reduce our impact on the environment.

Our windows and doors meet or exceed ENERGY STAR^® certification. This ensures maximum energy savings for the environment and lower energy bills for the homeowner.

ENERGY STAR^®-qualified windows and doors increase comfort by keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, as well as reducing condensation. Valuable possessions like carpets and furniture are protected from sun damage.

There is More to ENERGY STAR^® than Saving Money

The use of energy-efficient products can also help save the environment. In many parts of Canada, fossil fuels are often burned to produce electricity. The burning of fossil fuels is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions - a leading cause of climate change - and other pollutants that contribute to urban smog and acid rain. When you use less energy by selecting energy-efficient products, less electricity needs to be produced. Thus you are reducing GHG emissions and promoting cleaner air as well.

Save Money with the ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes Program

From June 6, 2011 until March 31, 2012, homeowners are eligible to receive federal grants of up to $5,000 to make their homes more energy-efficient. Replace your windows with West Coast Windows ENERGY STAR^® qualified models and be entitled to a $40 rebate per rough opening.
