Milgard Celebrates Twenty Year Energy Star Partnership

Tacoma, Wash. (Oct 8, 2018) – Milgard Windows & Doors is celebrating its twenty year partnership with ENERGY STAR® by offering homeowners $10 Amazon.com gift cards with every Style Line® Series window purchase,  $20 gift cards with every Tuscany® Series window purchase and $50 gift cards with every Tuscany Series patio door purchase through November 15, 2018*.

Milgard is dedicated to helping consumers make an impact on their energy consumption by manufacturing energy-efficient windows and patio doors designed to create a comfortable home. They can adhere to ENERGY STAR v6 requirements that meet or exceed U-Factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient criteria for the areas they serve.

“Milgard has been an ENERGY STAR partner since 1998 when the program began,” said Kevin Vilhauer, Doors Engineering Manager at Milgard Windows & Doors. “We constantly conduct thermal simulations to help improve energy performance in our windows and patio doors.”

ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy whose goal is to help individuals reduce energy costs and to protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, leaky and inefficient windows, and doors account for up to 25 percent of the average household’s energy bills. Some sources estimate it being as high as 40 percent.

The ENERGY STAR website states that a typical household spends about $2,000 a year on energy bills, and suggests that by using ENERGY STAR products, a homeowner could save 30 percent, or about $575 in household energy costs.

“Vinyl windows and patio doors are exceptionally energy efficient,” Vilhauer went on to say. “They are highly insulating and ideal for cold and mixed climates.”

The special fall savings event features select Milgard® vinyl Series windows and patio doors and is only available through participating Milgard Dealers. See the official rules and learn more at: https://www.milgard.com/fall-savings-event

*Customers must purchase a minimum of 5 windows and/or 1 door to qualify for the promotion.
