It’s Getting Hot in Here

BC Hydro introduces ESTAR windows, which keeps the heat out and allows the homeowner to stay cooler inside, whilst saving money. Homeowners can save up to 7% on energy costs or about $127 a year by replacing their windows and doors with ESTAR qualified products.
ESTAR windows are also PST exempt, saving consumers an additional 7%. If just 10% of Greater Vancouver’s households replaced all of their windows with ESTAR, there would be an energy saving of more than $10.4 million a year.
Visit Natural Resources Canada’s website to find model numbers of all Energy Star labelled windows qualified under the Canadian criteria. Look for the Energy Star label.
