 Re: Use Renewal By Andersen
Author: Dex (---.chvlva.adelphia.net)

Since your address is pacbell, I'm not sure this will help, since I'm in Virginia, but I once lived in the Bay Area.

I've lived in this house since 1989, and the original wood windows on the south side where it can get to 100 in the summer, and low 20's in the winter - well they just began to wear and rot out. We've tried painting them years ago, that didn't help much.

So we are replacing them with vinyl windows from Long, as in Long Fences. They only serve the metro Washington, DC area, but if you go to their window manufacture website, www.quantum2.net, check out their PowerQ glass. If anyone says that windows don't matter, they haven't experienced the Power Q glass. That film in the middle was unbelievable. The sales rep put a heat lamp on one side of that double glass window pane with a BTU meter on the other side. It barely registered. After a few minutes, he let us hold the glass panel. The side with the heat lamp on it was very hot, the side that would be inside the house was very cool. He did the same experiement with other so-called low-E glass panes - there was no comparison - you could feel the heat go thru. That middle membrane did work.

I suspect that those low E glass panes are old technology. There is better stuff out there. Oh, don't get me wrong. Those Quantum windows will be expensive, but I figure if those windows really work and I can save maybe $40 or $50 a month in energy, it will pay for itself overtime.

Good luck.
