What
Should I Do About My Windows?
Window
retrofit decisions will be made easier with a little
help from an advisory tool.

Should
I get new windows, repair my existing ones, or
buy retrofit products? Which strategy will save
me more money on my monthly utility bills and
make my house more comfortable? What is the best
solution for my house and my budget?

these questions by friends, family members, and
prospective clients. They may have turned to you
because the only other source of window advice
for most homeowners is a sales representative
with just one solution: the product he or she
is trying to sell. Whether it’s storm windows
or insulating blinds, replacement sashes or new
windows, rarely does a salesperson offer alternatives.
And the projected energy savings are all too often
conjured from guesses and expectations, rather
than from real data or calculations.
