With Earth Day right around the corner, it’s important to remind ourselves of a few of the ways to practice sustainability in our homes.
Callen suggests the following eco-friendly and ENERGY STAR rated products for your home:
- Windows: Find an ENERGY STAR certified window brand, such as Infinity from Marvin® available from Callen. Infinity windows are composed of an Ultrex® fiberglass frame and high-performing glass options. A window that insulates, much like wood, without the hassle of a wood window, Ultrex provides a barrier against weather extremes to help reduce heating and cooling costs.
- Appliances: Dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers are just a few of the appliances with which you can save energy and money, especially if they are Energy STAR certified. These appliances typically include innovations and features such as soil sensors and smart wash technology, plus they are made with recyclable materials.
- LED Lighting: ENERGY STAR Qualified Lighting can reduce several costs, such as energy, maintenance, and cooling. They are more efficient, last longer, and produce less heat than a normal bulb. As a plus, they typically offer convenient features like dimming.
If you plan to take on a home remodeling project, don’t hesitate to ask one of our Sales Design Consultants or Windows & Door Specialists for their recommendations on energy-efficient products and sustainable materials that are most suitable for you and your home.
