My parents replaced every window in their home a few years back, and I helped them search out the best deals on windows. We ended up choosing MLC.\r
\r
One major thing that MLC Windows had above all the other window suppliers was that they were about $5000 cheaper than the rest. Yes, that's right: five-thousand dollars cheaper! That's a substantial savings. \r

But one thing that we didn't want to sacrifice was quality. It'd be pointless to replace the windows only to have them not last very long. MLC puts out quality work; they look exactly the same as they did the day they were installed, and all parts function perfectly. I've used windows from other companies of similar design, and those windows tend to stop shutting all the way after being used for a couple years, and so those windows can't be locked. My parents use their windows constantly and have never had this problem.\r

As far as energy savings go, these also had a substantial effect on heating and cooling costs. The heating bill dropped by about 1/4! Over the long run, that ends up being a few thousand dollars every winter. Though insulation is just as important, if you had to make the choice between that and windows, I'd chose to get new windows because of issues with functionality - you can't open insulation!\r
Pros: Quality Windows
