Replacing windows can be difficult or
easy, it depends on if you are doing it yourself and how much experience
you have.
Windows are sometimes complicated devices,
made more complicated by the fact that recommended window types vary by
climate. Climates where heating is very important have different product
recommendations than climates where cooling is more important.
You will need to first, educate yourself on the different kinds of
replacement window
brands, and which of these are right for your climate and needs.
Learn about the NFRC and ENERGY STARŪ labels and why they are important.
We recommend that you go to the SPONSORING MEMBERS section of this web
site, click on manufacturers, and become familiar with Efficient Windows
Collaborative members who sell products in your area. Go to member web
sites, explore their products, information, and materials. Then prepare
yourself to ask questions.
Visit retailers or distributors. Look for the product you want within
your price range. Ask questions of the sales staff and let them tell you
about the energy efficiency features of the products. Remember to 1)
look for the ENERGY STARŪ, 2) Look for the NFRC label, 3) select a
product that is right for your climate and your pocketbook.
Sometimes a homeowner feels more comfortable with a particular
contractor rather than a particular product. Installation is a very
important issue with windows. Ask your contractor to describe the
installation process. Make sure your contractor knows as much about
ENERGY STARŪ products and NFRC labeling as you do.
