“Manufacturing a basement window with ENERGY STAR® qualification was paramount in the design and implementation of the Premier V Series window,” says Ken Snader, director of engineering for Monarch Manufacturing. “In my opinion, the Premier V incorporates the best that window technology has to offer,” Snader went on to say. “It also provides a solid platform for Monarch Manufacturing to develop more products to meet our customer’s evolving needs.”
ENERGY STAR® windows are energy efficient, helping a home use substantially less energy for heating, cooling and water-heating delivery. A home using ENERGY STAR® windows can save not only thousands of dollars on utility bills but also additional savings on maintenance and repair. Look for the government-back ENERGY STAR® label when choosing a window and know that it meets strict energy efficiency guidelines.
