Making “Cents” with MN Replacement Windows

Does your home still have those huge, old style, double or single pane windows?

If you are finding that the answer to this is yes, it just may be time for you to consider changing them for windows that do a better job at keeping your energy bills to a minimum.  

Those old windows that we find in older or historic homes around the Minneapolis area usually fall into one of two categories.

The first is that they may be paper thin, with major gaps around the window.  A telltale sign is the window rattles when the wind blows.  That indicates the window no longer fits snugly in its opening.  This means that they are allowing your heat to quietly and quickly escape, as well as letting that cold winter wind inside your home.

The second category is a window with double-paned glass that frequently gets condensation between the glass panels.  Moisture sits in between the two panes, making it look like it is foggy, when in fact it is really a beautiful day. If your windows are fogged between the glass, it might also mean that the seals have broken down and that they are allowing your heat to escape without you realizing it. In either case, you really should consider replacing your old windows with some new energy-efficient replacement windows.

It seems like every day new technology in window manufacturing is emerging that is putting the old ways of doing it to shame. There are several options for replacement windows here at Window Outfitters for you to choose from.

To give you a few examples, we offer many windows with Low-E double pane glass.  This highly effective material blocks out 80% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays in order to protect your cherished home furnishing from the damaging effects of the sun’s rays. You can also choose windows filled with argon gas between the panes in order to reduce heat transfer, which in the long run will give you that energy savings. Another option some window companies offer is an upgrade in the spacer system that will add a stronger thermal barrier, which will further enhance your window’s energy efficiency. These are only a few of the options we offer.

No matter what you think you may be looking for when choosing new replacement windows, we have an option that will be perfect for you. We also rival all the others in both quality, as well as style. New replacement windows will pay for themselves in the long run as you will be able to keep the heat inside your home instead of leaking out those old style windows.

Make sure to consider these things before choosing your new replacement windows. 

We’ll be glad to work with you to choose the right windows for your Minneapolis home.  We offer free in-home estimates as well as individual appointments at our Savage MN showroom.  Please contact our professional and helpful replacement window team here at Window Outfitters.  We specialize in customer satisfaction and pride ourselves on our customer service.
