Energy saving products
Washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers and boilers are just a few products purchased every day with an energy efficient rating. Rated from A to G, with different coloured bandings, the Energy Ratings label gives the consumer an idea of how efficient the product is in respect of how much fuel the product requires to operate. The higher the energy rating (A being top) then the less fuel.
Products which meet strict criteria on energy efficiency can
also carry the blue Energy Saving Recommended logo. Energy Saving Products

Energy rated windows
As with refrigerators and dishwashers it is now possible to buy energy rated windows for your home or property. The British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) energy performance label will perform the key functions of:
- containing and conserving heat in winter
- keeping the building cool in summer
- reducing draft and resisting condensation
This is achieved by enhanced levels of window performance in the critical areas of Thermal Transmittance (U-value), Solar Factor (g-value) and Air Leakage (L50 Value)
- Crystal Vision offer windows from “C” to “A”
Energy rated certificates
In June 2007 the Government made it mandatory for house sellers to have available to buyers a “Home Information Pack” (HIPs). Inside this pack will be an “Energy Rating Certificate” (ERCs) which will tell the buyer how efficiently the property uses and conserves energy and will also include the environmental impact of emissions carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Selecting BFRC energy rated windows will help improve the overall performance of your home or property, with the added benefits of:
