From One Home to Thousands: How Centra Install Pros Is Giving Back

If you caught our recent CTV segment, you saw something a little different from the typical conversation around windows and doors. We shared the powerful story of Moira Kelly and her recent Centra Cares Home Renovation Contest win, showing why we do what we do – but at Centra Install Pros, giving back isn’t a one-time effort. That’s why we introduced our Window Efficiency Plan to help homeowners in BC and Alberta save up to $650 per window/door.

Moira’s Story: A Home Transformation That Matters

This year’s Centra Cares Home Renovation Contest brought us to Moira Kelly’s home – a truly deserving winner whose story resonated across the community.

Moira has spent over 40 years caring for her son James, who lives with Angelman syndrome. Like many older homes in BC, hers had aging, drafty, unsecured windows and doors that made daily life more difficult than it needed to be. Cold air seeped in during the winter, noise carried through, and broken locks created added stress around safety and security. On top of that, James’ severe allergies were constantly aggravated by poor sealing.

After installing brand-new, energy-efficient windows and doors, the difference was immediate. The home is now warmer, quieter, and significantly more comfortable year-round. Drafts are gone, noise is reduced, and there’s a renewed sense of safety and peace of mind.

Beyond the physical improvements, the impact is personal. For Moira, it’s a weight lifted – improving the comfort of her son, and herself.

Why Centra Cares Exists

Moira’s story is just one example of what Centra is all about.

As a 100% Employee Owned company, we believe our responsibility goes beyond installations. Every member of our team is invested not only in the work we do, but in the communities we serve. Centra Cares’ Home Renovation Contest is one way we give back each year and help local homeowners in a meaningful, lasting way.

It’s also a reminder that window and door upgrades aren’t just cosmetic improvements. They can:

• Create a healthier indoor environment
• Reduce energy costs and monthly stress
• Improve safety, comfort, and overall quality of life

Because everything we do – from manufacturing to installation – is handled by our in-house BC team, that impact stays local. We’re supporting local families, local jobs, and local communities every step of the way.

Extending That Impact Across Western Canada

While the Home Renovation Contest focuses on one homeowner each year, we wanted to find a way to help many more. That’s where the Window Efficiency Plan comes in.

Centra has committed $1 million in funding specifically for homeowners across British Columbia, as well as $1 million for Alberta. The goal is to make it easier and more affordable to upgrade to high-performance windows and doors without the complexity of traditional government rebate programs.

Homeowners can receive up to $650 off per window or door, with savings applied upfront. There’s no home energy audit required, no complicated approval process, and no restrictive product requirements.

More importantly, the benefits are immediate:

• Lower energy bills through improved insulation
• Greater comfort with fewer drafts and temperature swings
• Reduced outside noise for a quieter home

Just like Moira experienced, these upgrades can have a real, everyday impact on how your home feels and functions.

A Limited Opportunity to Upgrade

The Window Efficiency Plan is designed to help as many homeowners as possible – but like any funded program, it has a limit. Once the allocated funds are depleted, the program will close.

If your home is dealing with drafty windows, rising energy costs, or comfort issues, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful upgrade with real financial support.

Built in BC, Installed by People Who Care

One thing that ties everything together – whether it’s Moira’s renovation or a homeowner taking advantage of the Window Efficiency Plan – is how the work gets done.

Centra windows are manufactured in-province and installed by our own in-house teams, meaning no subcontractors and full accountability from start to finish. Our Employee Owners take pride in every project and stand behind their work with a 30-year, fully transferable warranty covering frames, glass, and installation, as well as any labour costs if service is ever needed.

This level of care is rare in the window and door industry. It shows in every detail, and it’s why so many homeowners trust Centra Install Pros to improve their homes.
