Listers gained 'C', 'B' and 'A' energy rating certification for both their sculptured and chamfered window systems in April this year and remain one of the few companies to have achieved this.
"We believe that this new standard is the best thing to hit our industry for years".
"It benefits the home owner, the environment and it makes it a lot easier to sell windows." Says Phil Warren, Listers Sales Director.
"The customer saves money on their heating bills".
"That helps to cut carbon emissions".
"They are already looking for better ways to insulate their home with loft and cavity wall insulation and now they can buy energy rated windows too! It's an easy sell".
Listers are one of the first trade window companies in the UK to make a 'C' rated product their standard offering so how can they afford to do it without raising the price?.
"Listers have always aimed to be ahead of the field" says Phil, "and sooner or later 'C' rated windows will be the industry standard".
"We just want to give that to our customers before anyone else does, and at an affordable price, so we've cut our margins a little while benefiting from simplifying what we offer".
"But we aren't daft! We are also doing it to increase the demand for our products".
Not only have Listers started to supply the new product, but as usual, they have also produced a full range of selling and marketing materials to go with it, including sales literature, samples and even a certificate of compliance and completion pack for the house owner.
As the market continues to be difficult, Listers are one of the few companies to be seeing growth in window sales with July figures showing a 6% increase over last year, and that was before they launched their new energy window.
It seems that we all have to be working a lot harder these days to gain and maintain customers but as Listers continue to show: there are still benefits to be had for those going the extra mile for their customers.
