A high performing window provides tremendous value to your home, significantly improves curb appeal, increases the amount of natural light, provides enhanced views, and increases energy efficiency. For this reason, a high quality window is an important investment. The cost of new windows will depend on the type of installation, the style, additional features, and of course, the number of windows.

A house is made of bricks and beams. A home is made of hopes and dreams and our Centra Cares Home Renovation Contest is excited to turn a family’s dream, into a reality. We are happy to announce that the winners of the 2018 Centra Cares Home Renovation Contest is Melissa & Josh Rankin, from Victoria, BC.

Stop using Energy Star as the basis for selecting windows and start asking how a window will perform all year round.  

 Did you replace your windows in hopes that both your heating and cooling costs would go down and your home would be more comfortable all year round?  Is your home hotter in the summer than it was before you replaced your windows with what you thought were Energy Star High Efficient windows? 

Summer has just begun and already the days continue to get warmer and longer, and with the warm weather there is a sudden rise in the number of unattended open windows. Who doesn’t want to have that nice summer breeze floating through their house each night?

The fact remains that unattended open windows lead to nearly 5,000 children falling out of windows every year, according to the U.S. consumer Product Safety Commission and it is considered one of the top five home hazards.
