It is often assumed that an old double-hung wood window should be replaced in order to achieve long-term energy savings. Before you replace your venerable window, consider that a double-hung window that uses chains or ropes attached; to sash weights may seem old-fashioned, but with maintenance every few decades; this weight system can last for centuries. Newer windows are often more difficult to repair. When you need us, we’re there to help, providing emergency service without an appointment all throughout the area. 

Older windows have single glazing, which does not insulate as well as double glazing. However, most energy loss is usually through gaps between sashes and the frame or between the frame and the house; energy loss through the glass is usually a lesser factor. By adding a good-quality storm window, you can achieve much of the insulation of double glazing; plus extra protection against air infiltration through gaps. If you also take steps to weather-strip your window, you will end up with a window that seals; at least as well as most new windows—at a fraction of the cost.

A better way to protect your windows is to have a window screen. There is an array of screen types, many of which are manufactured to handle specific situations.
