Hi. Has anyone had experience replacing double hung weight system windows with either “tape balances” or “concealed balances”? I have old double hung windows with weights that are SOOOOOO drafty. I want to get rid of the weights and fill in the channels with insulation. HOWEVER, when I spoke to a distributor of tape (and concealed) balances, he said they did not work very well and many of them break. Any opinions, experiences or thoughts? I’d like to keep the windows, but I lose so much heat out of them.
