Making a Basement Warmer and Less Damp with a New Window in Pittsfield, MA

This homeowner in Pittsfield, MA called us out to their home to take a look at their old basement window. They knew that it was not an efficient window, and that they were losing a lot of air from their home. We got to the home and performed our Full Home Energy Evaluation to better assess the efficiency in this home. We noticed the basement window they currently had was an old single pane glass window with a metal frame, which lets in a lot of air into the home. This also gets a lot of air escape from the home by conduction through the cold glass. The window had also started rusting due to the damp environment near the ground. Since the home has low pressure at the bottom and sucks cold outside air into your home it causes a freezing cold basement and cold floors. We knew that we needed to replace this old window to increase the efficiency and comfort in this home.

To fix this window, we need to first remove the old window sashes. We install our Everlast basement window inserts and seal it airtight. Our Everlast windows feature two panes of high performance glass, which lets visible light through, but blocks the heat flow with a special metallic coating in the inside of both panes. The sash features a vinyl frame which is perfect for the damp environment of the window near the ground. This window will never rust, rot or need to be repainted. This homeowner now has a beautiful, efficient basement window thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions!!!
