Any homeowner who has ever looked at replacement windows has probably been a little overwhelmed with the different numbers and labels attached to them. Although the labels are meant to help homeowners buy the best replacement windows for their home, the reality is that many homeowners are more confused than helped. There are coefficients and factors to be taken into consideration as well as other numbers that make no sense to the consumer on first glance. Fortunately, many Goose Creek roofing companies also install replacement windows and are happy to help homeowners choose the windows that are right for their homes.

They only need to know that the Energy Star label is the basic requirement to be met by any window and not to purchase any window without it.
The NFRC label describes in detail how well a window functions in terms of its energy efficiency.
