Custom vinyl replacements ran me about $400 installed. Priced was
comparable among all quotes for top line window (self- cleaning!!)
House was cooler in summer and far less drafty in winter. I'm having
more done soon. Costly but well worth it!!

If saving energy is your goal then there are quite a few ratings you
need to learn, to compare, U value, Cdf, Shg, air infiltration and
more. Consumer reports has rated windows as well, Loewen
Architectural Services has the highest R value of glass that I know
of, and glass for specific purposes. You have alot to learn about
glass before you buy.

i use window world for my rental houses . they install a 2 pane
with low e glass for 220.00 . i dont remember what the argon would add
to it. but the ones i get from them are as good as the 500.00 ones other
outfits offered and better that the 350.00 ones from home depot..

I've heard of them and while they arent the worst outfit, the workmanship
varies wildly with the franchise.

Also they arent energystar (or none of the ones I saw were) in that
pricerange.

When I got new windows, I got top quality and it's paid off in lower heating
bills, presumably will in lower coolong as well come high summer.
