We meet plenty of homeowners who think that their storm windows will last a lifetime, which is incorrect. Based on the harsh New England weather, the life of a storm window is anywhere from 12-20 years before they need to be replaced. 60% of your heat loss is based on an old storm or lack thereof and the other 40% heat loss is due to an interior window that's not button-upped correctly. With an old wood window there's more air space between a storm window and wood window, approx. 3, compared to the air space between two tightly squeezed panes of glass in a replacement thermos-pane window.
I recently had 8 old windows repaired, adding copper weather stripping, new sash chains, and other repairs to improve the tightness of my windows and functionality. WindowRepair com was very professional through the entire process and the team on site was a pleasure to have in my home while they did the work. I would definitely use them again and recommend them.
