EL PASO, TX — If you're looking to winterize your home this winter, the Better Business Bureau has a check list for consumers.
Start out by looking for products that carry the NFRC or National Fenestration Rating Council label.
Get a reputable contractor and reputable materials.
You can check bbb.org to find a contractor you can trust.
U-Factor ratings generally fall between 0.20 and 1.20.
The lower the U-value, the greater a window's resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating value.
Lastly look for ENERGY STAR® products before making a purchase.
ENERGY STAR helps consumers to easily identify products with superior energy performance.
