This blog post is for the more science-minded and math-minded individuals out there. You know who you are! We wanted to get into one of the metrics for comparing the energy efficiency of various replacement windows on the market: solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC). SHGC is a standardized rating in the window replacement industry that allows us to compare “apples to apples” when it comes to a window’s insulating properties. This rating will tell you how good a window unit is at keeping solar heat from entering your home. SHGC ratings are determined by the National Fenestration Ratings Council (NFRC), which is an independent, third-party organization that evaluates just about every replacement window on the market, including those sold in San Diego.

Why You Need an Installation Warranty with Window Replacement in San Diego
We know that warranties have gotten a bad reputation over the years. With all of the “extended warranty” scam calls that were going on a few years ago, as well as warranties that don’t actually offer any real coverage, people tend to be wary when they hear about warranties. It’s true—some warranties offer more value than others. Some are worth only the paper they’re printed on, while others can save you thousands of dollars if you use the coverage. When it comes to buying replacement windows, we highly encourage homeowners to purchase windows with a good warranty. This means purchasing windows that come with a lifetime warranty from a manufacturer that has a good reputation for standing behind their products, as well as warranty on the installation.

Which Replacement Windows Are Best for Second Floor Rooms in San Diego Homes?
Many of the homeowners we work with live in homes that are more than one story.

The Simple Way to Compare Performance Among Replacement Window Brands Sold in San Diego
Have you ever tried to compare seemingly similar items before making a purchase, only to find out that you weren’t actually comparing apples to apples? Maybe you were shopping for a new laptop computer. You probably found that the prices were all over the place. You could buy a Chromebook for around $150, but then you also saw a MacBook Pro for over $1,500. Is a MacBook Pro really ten times better than a Chromebook? Some might argue that it is, but it can be tough to compare the two just in terms of simple metrics. Fortunately, when you’re shopping for replacement windows, it’s a little easier to compare products. This is because pretty much all replacement windows on the market are evaluated by the same independent, third-party organization: the National Fenestration Ratings Council …
