- Our purpose here is to educate you on the games and gimmicks used by our competitors.
- Let’s start with the $189.00 installed vinyl window. Many homes will not qualify for the price.
- The $189.00 list price applies only if your home has existing wood double hung windows.
- The $189.00 window is a basic vinyl window with no aluminum trim, screens or low-E glass.
- Additional charges will apply for slider and casement styles or if your windows are metal.
- You will pay extra for the following: Aluminum trim, Low-E glass, clean-up & disposal fees.
- Aluminum trim and Low-E argon glass are necessary for proper fit and energy efficiency.
- The final installed price can be $350.00 to $450.00 with aluminum trim, Low-E and clean-up.
- All of our vinyl window is completely installed starting at $399.99 with no hidden fees.
- Life Time Warranty and Life Time Warranty on Glass Breakage.
- Other window dealers spend hours in your home setting you up for a large price at the end.
- They then offer you a series of discounts designed to give you the illusion of a special sale.
- Here at Aultman Siding & Windows we respect our customers by not playing pricing games.
- Our Welded vinyl windows has all the same features as windows sold for $750.00 or more.
- Our free “No Pressure” in-home consultation takes about an hour, no purchase is required.
- So what is the big difference between our window and theirs? Higher quality - lower prices !
Energy Savings
Benefits: Energy & Cost Savings
The following information is an example of energy and cost savings for Boston
and Phoenix.
 Heating Season Savings
In climates
with a
significant heating season, windows have represented a major source of unwanted
heat loss, discomfort, and condensation problems. In recent years, windows have
undergone a technological revolution. It is now possible to have lower heat
loss, less air leakage, and warmer window surfaces that improve comfort and
minimize condensation. The graph below illustrates the significant savings in
heating season costs associated with energy efficient windows for a house in a
heating-dominated climate. In cold regions, this means that windows are no
longer an energy loser to be avoided -- increasing glazing area with high
performance windows can have little or no affect on total energy
use.
 Cooling Season Savings
In
climates that mainly
require cooling, windows have represented a major source of unwanted heat gain.
In recent years, windows have undergone a technological revolution. It is now
possible to significantly reduce solar heat gain and improve comfort while
providing clear views and daylight. The graph below illustrates the significant
savings in cooling season costs associated with improved windows for a house in
a cooling-dominated climate. In warm regions, this means that high performance
windows can face into the sun if desired without great energy penalties --
although shading techniques remain important.

Improved Comfort
Benefits: Improved Comfort
High performance windows with new glazing technologies not only reduce energy
costs but make homes more comfortable as well.

 Winter Thermal Comfort
An older window with a
lower glass temperature feels colder because more heat is radiated from a
person's body to the window. Cold glass can also create uncomfortable drafts as
air next to the window is cooled and drops to the floor. This sets up an air
movement pattern that feels drafty and accelerates heat loss. High performance
windows with lower U-factors will
result in a higher interior window temperature in winter and thus greater
comfort. Proper installation along with weatherstripping designed to seal
tightly (for operable windows) will also improve comfort by reducing cold air
leakage.

Arasteh).
 Summer Thermal Comfort
In summer, strong direct sunlight
strikes people and interior surfaces, creating overheating and discomfort.
Windows with low solar heat gain coefficients will reduce the solar radiation coming through the glass and
associated discomfort. Low solar heat gain low-E glass (spectrally selective)
reduces heat gain while still providing sufficient light and view.
