Yes. High quality replacement windows/doors, properly sealed and installed, can have a significant impact on your heating and cooling costs.

How high is up? Sorry. Let’s say you are buying a car. You shop around. The distance between the best and worst price is pretty close (10% either way). Not so, windows. You can literally have one quote that is 3x the price of another for the same house. (OK, it’s gettin’bloggy here but it’s important so here is the Blog link). Some people say “Windows are windows” and snag the lowest price. Have you ever done that and it didn’t work out? Say with that dehumidifier you bought that could wake the dead and you swear ‘It’s getting wetter in here?!’ Some people assume more expensive is better, so they the most expensive ones. Well – without mentioning any names – there are 3 big successful companies that charge a ton for a very lightweight window.

Well, have the “Never-Never Plan” which sounds like so many companies Ads. In truth, 0 % Interest and deferred payments are all factored in. ‘Pay me now or Pay Me Later’ as an old TV used to say. You don’t have to do them all at once. Pick the biggest problems first. And remember – banks love windows since they both increase your asset value and reduce HVAC expenses for the next 30 years.

To determine if your windows are functioning properly you should look for the following: Is there moisture, condensation or fog between your panes of glass. This usually indicates a seal failure? Are there areas on your carpet or furniture that are faded because of the suns ultraviolet rays? This is an indication that your windows need Low E glass to block the sun’s harmful rays. Do you have the properly rated windows for your climate? Windows in the colder Canadian climates required higher ER rating to increase their Energy Efficiency. Poor operation. Are you having difficulties opening or closing your windows? Rotting and pealing around your window frame may indicate it is time for your windows to be replaced.

Today’s high-performance windows and doors are far more energy-efficient than products built 25 years ago. Today’s products are more airtight, with advanced technology such as low-emissivity (low-E) glass, inert gas between the panes.

You can recycle old windows at a local recycling service or have the window installers dispose of them. If the windows are still in good shape, you can give them away to someone who can use them. Old windows can also be repurposed into vintage decor, made into tables, or turned into outdoor decoration.

With the look of your windows, style and functionality are the two primary decisions you’ll have to make. Sliding windows and crank windows are the two common types when it comes to functionality.

Here are some things that you’ll need to consider before we arrive: Someone will need to be home to allow our installers access to your home. We ask to clear the driveway when possible for our truck to park near the house. If possible, move furniture away from the windows and doors that are being replaced. If you require help to move anything we will gladly do it but we cannot be held responsible for any damages. Remove all blinds, shades, curtains and other window treatments from the windows. Turn off all security alarms.

Most of our projects are completed within one day, but some jobs can take up to 5 days if there’s a lot of work to do.

While spring is generally the best time to have your windows replaced due to the warm weather, window installations can really be carried out in any season. In the summer and winter months you will be letting hot and cold air into your home which may cause some discomfort as the installation process is happening but ultimately the decision of when to have new windows installed will come down to what time is most convenient for you.

You should only buy windows or doors that are Energy Star® certified. Energy Star® is a program administered by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) where manufacturers submit their products to be tested and certified as Energy Star® compliant.

Low-e (Low-emissivity) coatings have been developed to minimize the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that can pass through glass without compromising the amount of visible light that is transmitted. Low-e glass has a metallic coating on the inside surface to reflect the sun’s rays and to reduce damaging UV rays.

Argon is an inexpensive, non-toxic, odourless gas that is used in residential windows to insulate the two panes of glass. Argon gas helps to prevent frost from occurring at the bottom of windows and also helps to increase sound proofing characteristics of your window. Argon gas is heavier than air and as such it offers increased R-values and minimizes heat exchange through windows. Argon gas usually improves the u-value by about 10% in a window.

U-value is the measure of the rate of heat loss and how well a product insulates. The lower the u-value, the better a product is at keeping heat inside your home.

R-Value measure the resistance to heat loss. R-value is used typically to measure the heat resistance value of home installation.
