Gorell AC Master vs Energy Master

I just received a quote for 17 Gorell 5300 with AC master. I also had them quote upgrading to Energy Master III for $65 more a window. I live in KC. Is the upgrade to triple pane worth $65 per window? That would put us at the high end of our budget, so I just wanted expert advice on whether it is wo...

Re: Did Gorell raise their prices by 25% this year?

You are all correct about my neighbors cost being too low. I was calculating based off 18 windows for her and 17 for me. I forgot that we both replaced 2 sets of double windows with sliders, making it 16 windows for her and 17 for me. Per window for my neighbor last July = $544.12 for 16 windows Per...

My ground floor windows have a button imbedded in the sill that pops out when the window is opened. What is normally done with these when the window is replaced? My security company states that I need to have a tech come out and disconnect them before the replacement and then re-connect them after t...

Re: Did Gorell raise their prices by 25% this year?

Thank you for all the replies. Here is an update... - I spoke to Gorell and they did raise their prices in January on different windows and options. Some options went up quite a bit (due to their costs going up), but he did not give specifics. I was very surprised that he answered my e-mail though, ...

Did Gorell raise their prices by 25% this year?

My neighbor got 18 Gorell 5300 windows installed for 8,700 last July. We have the exact same house, only I have a window in the basement that she does not have and she has two windows in the garage that I do not have (so she has 18 and I have 17 windows). I got a quote from the same installer for th...

Alside Ultramax vs. Gorell 5300?

I am looking into replacing 15 windows and a french door. I liked the Gorell 5300, but the installer told me they raised their prices this year. They still sell them, but they recommend the Alside Ultramax for more of a cost savings (they have a deal with Alside). Anyone have experience with the Als...
