This beautiful older home set on a river had great insulation in the walls and ceiling, the Achilles heal - the windows! Though they can be a sizable investment, the returns are great. The peace and quiet of a quality window is often overlooked in our awareness of energy, but none the less, it is a great benefit of a quality window. Heat loss or gain was a "major" in this home and will probably result in recouping the investment in 5-7 yrs. Although we didn't get any photos of the finished product (my bad) new windows also added tremendous beauty to this home. Gone are the days of drafts, sticky windows and flaking paint :)
