Thermal Window Installers and Contractors

Thermal windows, whether double-paned or triple-paned, should always be installed with the utmost care. Thermal windows installers and contractors understand that the window must be exactly plumb and level in order to form the correct seal that offers the true benefit of the window's energy-saving technology.

Choosing Thermal Windows Installers and Contractors

Contractors who install thermal windows know that if the energy savings don't add up, it could ruin their reputation. To that end, many of them are reputable installers who will do their best when installing your new thermal windows. However, you should still check them out before you hire.

• Who are their suppliers? Many contractors work with brand-name manufacturers to bring you discounts and other perks. If there is a particular window you prefer but your potential installer is not familiar with the brand or tries to pressure you into a different brand, you might want to look elsewhere.
• How long will the job take? Expect a firm and clear estimate on how long the job will take. Your home will be in disarray during the time of the installation and the contractors know it, so they will be able to provide you with firm dates and expectations for those days.
• What kind of guarantees do they offer? Most window installers offer a guarantee on their work. Ask what their guarantee covers and always remember to get it in writing.
• What does the bottom line include? Make sure that the final bid and contract includes disposal of the current windows and all supplies that might be necessary to complete the job. The amount of the final contract should be what you will pay--do your homework and make sure there are no surprises.

Thermal windows are a wise investment. Make certain your search for installers and contractors is thorough enough to make that investment worthwhile.
