Bonnie in Maple ridge

This summer I was able to follow though with my long awaited plans to replace all the windows in my 25 year old home. While it is difficult to gauge the energy savings of such a project in the summer months, I was able to enjoy the immediate esthetic improvement. The difference in the look of the house, both inside and out with vinyl windows as opposed to aluminum is more that I had anticipated. Vinyl windows and trim have updated my home and improved the "curb appeal" emensely! Another benifit that I hadn't fully anticipated was the sound proofing quality of the windows. The house is almost silent now from all but the most intrusive outdoor sounds. We were having dinner by candle light shortly after insallation when my signicicant other pointed out that the candles weren't "flickering" like they used to. We always wondered why the flame would flicker so much when all the windows were closed. I guess now we know! This being November, the furnace is on and we are just now able to get a glimpse of our future energy savings. The over all temperature of the house is staying noticably even. Where before intallation there was a noticeable drop in temperature as we got closer to the larger windows. The furnace is not kicking in as often as it used to, nor is it staying on as long as it did prior to the window upgrades. Thank you to Shawn and Aaron, owners of Ecowest for explaining every detail to me before I made this major purchase. There were no surprizes! A special thank you to Moe, the extrordinary young man who oversaw the insallation with care and sensitivity beyond his years.
