Q: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COMPARE WINDOWS?
Discover the most trustworthy method to compare windows by looking for the NFRC* rating on each window you’re considering. As an independent certification, NFRC labels evaluate the full spectrum of window performance based on U-Factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). The lower these ratings, the superior the window’s performance. U-Factor and SHGC’s priorities fluctuate depending upon your climate, hence, it’s essential to choose the most advantageous NFRC ratings suitable to your local weather conditions in places like Boise, Meridian, Cascade, McCall, and Donnelly. So, navigate through the marketplace chaos and opt for the best performing windows at the most reasonable cost, right here at The Window Source of Western Idaho, proudly serving from Valley County to Boise.
Q: What is an Energy Star window?
The Window Source of Western Idaho takes pride in offering Energy Star approved windows, a certification program governed by the Federal Government, ensuring you get energy-efficient windows tailored to your specific climate.

These standards are based on NFRC whole window performance ratings and are individually set for each of the four distinct climate zones as described below:
Northern Zone (Blue): U-Factor of .30 or less, SHGC any
North Central Zone (Yellow): U-Factor of .32 or less, SHGC of .40 or less
South Central Zone (Orange): U-Factor of .35 or less, SHGC of .30 or less
Southern Zone (Red): U-Factor of .60 or less, SHGC of .27 or less

Q: Is the installation as important as the window?
Absolutely, a window requires accurate measurements to ensure a proper fit within the opening, and to provide sufficient tolerance for perfect plumb and square alignment of the new window. If the new window isn’t correctly installed in terms of plumb and square, it will not seal and function optimally, regardless of the high quality of the new window itself.
