Homeowner Forum / Construction / January 2005Replace windows or not
My main problem with existing windows are that they are ugly. I am wondering if I will gain enough energy efficiency to make it worth spending money on new windows. The windows are in a north facing wall insulated with R-11 fiberglass. The windows are single pane wood with aluminum storm windows. They are not particularly drafty. Will I gain much in comfort and energy savings by replacing them with insulated glass and no storms. John Puting in dual pane Low E argon could save 15% or more on heating and cooling, well worth it. Consumer reports has a good old article that rated maybe 30 windows. |
