Preservation Replacement Windows In The Twin Cities Area

Preservation Replacement Windows are a hit in the Twin Cities area because of their energy efficiency. I've received letters and emails from several Preservation customers that have been nothing short of ringing endorsements for Preservation and, in particular, Northland Home Exteriors.

One customer says "I put Preservation Replacement Windows and Siding on my house. My heating fuel usage dropped slightly over 67%." He goes on to say that "the house feels warmer all the time now" and says "when I opened my first bill and compared it to last year I actually doubted that the bill was right."

I wondered if these reports were being prompted by the dealer so I checked Preservation Windows out on the NFRC website where the independent test results can be found. The results astounded me. The Preservation Replacement Windows that were described to me had a U-factor that was the best I've ever seen. Since U-factor is the measure of heat loss I can see why Minnesotans are so excited about these windows.

Visiting the Preservation Windows website I found another little tidbit that was extremely telling. Preservation claims that they are the first window to achieve the proposed Energy Star Standard for 2015. The claim was substantiated by Department of Energy documents and the NFRC data I mentioned earlier.

If you are serious about saving energy with replacement windows you have to look seriously at Preservation Windows. I can't tell you much about pricing but they certainly have an impressive pedigree.
