It is a sad day when usually thoughtful people go “gizmo green” and support the window replacement pirates and their petro-chemical corporate masters in their marketing schemes as they bamboozle the American public into trashing perfectly good wood windows. These windows can always be maintained, repaired and upgraded to equal the energy performance of replacement windows at lower initial and long-term cost, while supporting local economies and communities. Wouldn’t you rather help a local carpenter support his family, rather than let the pirates get their hooks into your pocketbooks and stuff your money into their corporate coffers to pay excessive executive salaries and bonuses?

Here is a list of studies and expert opinions that conclude it does not make economic or energy conservation sense to replace existing windows:
