Just installed Pella windows in my home. Great looking windows, excellent installation crew. Got estimates from all companies talked about earlier. Not much difference in price.

I had Acadian windows do ours. They look much better and I don’t feel a draft standing next to them like I did the old ones. Our exterior is brick and stucco and watching them remove the old windows was nothing short of painful...about like a wisdom tooth extraction but on a house. Definitely not something I would do myself.

My neighbors house is the same. They had no problems after the change.

Relief Windows replaced our windows 2 years ago and I've been more than happy with them

Used Window World and am very satisfied. Honestly, I didn't gain much on my electric bill. And I also had insulation blown in the attic. But I think my problem is a 38 year old home with a cathedral ceiling in the living room.

What I do love is how it knocked down the outside noise. It's weird to open the door to walk out and there's a thunderstorm going on and I had no idea.

Had to replace both evaporator and condenser on a 6 year old Trane. With warranty and 'discount' still cost me $1400. I had the service contract where they came out 2 times a year for checkups the entire time too. At this point, it would be hard to recommend Trane.


I had a 16 SEER Trane installed 8 years ago and the condenser was shot in 9 months and replaced. The furnace had an interior gas leak from an electronic valve and the dipshits came out 8x before it was caught and the gas company rep had me shut off the gas to the entire house. Installers did a shite job, had it re-engineered by another installer, he said the variable speed fan settings were so off it was laughable. Meanwhile the 16 year old Goodman keeps rolling with no issues. I'll never buy another Trane.
