Ouch! but there are plus sides! I immediately noticed a huge difference. I changed them during the summer, and here in southern california, my house is about 80 degrees by the time it hits 9-10AM. I would have the termostat set at 75 and that would kick in at around 7 am. After the install, the thermostat did not kick in until the afternoon. It has not been a year as of yet, but I wont be able to figure out how much money is saved this year yet. Another plus side is how great they look from the outside of your home, as well as the smoothness of opening them. The biggest plus side is this. I had my house estimated in 2002 at around $275k. I just got it again and it is now worth $404k. I understand factors like market value and such, but that is a huge increase. I asked the guy how much my house would be worth if I did not install the new windows. He said about $394k . that alone pays for itself.
