WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COMPARE WINDOWS?

There is only one reliable way to compare windows and that is by asking for the NFRC* rating for each window that you are considering. NFRC labels are independently certified and rate the whole window performance by U-Factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). The lower these ratings are the better the window will perform. The priority of U-Factor versus SHGC depends on your climate. You should ignore all the sales hype and choose the best NFRC ratings for your climate at the best cost.

Yes, any window or patio door ordered with a LowE glass upgrade will qualify for the Energy Star guidelines for the climate zone where purchased. This guarantee always comes in writing on your contract specifications so you will be assured of ordering and receiving the best LowE glass that is optimized for your particular climate zone.

Are tax credits available for windows and doors?

Yes, you may be eligible to receive a 10% federal tax credit up to $200 for windows and $500 for doors that meet Energy Star guidelines. These credits had expired in 2011 but the new law, "The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012" has extended these tax credits to the end of 2013 and retroactively for 2012.

How can The Window Source be so much more affordable than other companies?

Is the installation as important as the window?

We recently replaced windows in a home on Old Mission Peninsula, north of Traverse City. The installers took before and after pictures of some of the windows. The pictures of the window above the kitchen sink revealed an amazing transformation. The grids and the frames of two mulled, double-hung windows were hiding a beautiful view, including a 30-foot tree.

Here is the before picture:
