One of the top reasons people choose to replace their windows is to help make their homes more energy efficient. (They also want to keep out noise from outside—but that’s a topic for another blog post.)

At BM Windows, we’ve been selling Anlin products for many years now. Anlin is a top-rated manufacturer, specializing in windows for homes in the Western United States.

Do Retrofit Windows Make San Diego Homes More Energy Efficient?
Did you recently buy a new home in the San Diego area and notice over the summer how hot the inside of your home got? Or, maybe you’ve been living in the same San Diego home for many years now and have been suffering during the summer months or running your air conditioner almost constantly. Installing retrofit windows in your San Diego home is often one of the best things you can do to make your home more energy efficient. Are Retrofit Windows and Replacement Windows the Same Thing? We use the term “replacement windows” on our website a lot. That is because that is the term most people are familiar with, but “retrofit windows” are the same thing. The two terms are interchangeable. Both refer to new windows that are installed within the existing window frames in a home. You can …
Do All Replacement Window Companies in San Diego Sell the Same Window Brands?
When shopping for certain products, it really doesn’t matter all that much which company you purchase from because they all sell pretty much the same products from the same manufacturers. In that case, you can more or less shop by price and go with the company that provides you with the best bang for your buck.

While there are multiple replacement window companies in San Diego, most of them only sell a select few brands of replacement windows, and some of …
Why We Love Anlin Doors for San Diego Homes
If you want new patio doors for your San Diego home, you’re not alone! Many older homes in the area have equally old patio doors that no longer open and close smoothly, have broken hardware and missing screens, and do very little to keep out heat, cold, and outside noise. Fortunately, having an old patio door replaced with a new, energy-efficient one is easier than you probably imagined. It involves no demo, no expensive repairs to the surrounding walls (interior or exterior), and therefore no mess and little disruption to your home life! How is this possible? Well, if you are replacing a patio door with a new one of the same size, the old door is simply removed and a new one is installed within the frame of the old one. At BM Windows, we highly recommend the Anlin brand of patio …
