100+ yo House - New Windows or Restore Old?
New Low E argon glass and sashes are much more efficient winter and
summer than storm windows, Tri pane is best. The Low E and Argon
definaly work, a dual pane is apx R3.3 tri pane apx R5. You may only
have R 1-2 now and thats about it for storms added as they dont truely
air seal, You will save alot in utilities with Low E Argon. Tri pane if
you can afford it may offer 20% savings if you are near R 1 and save in
summer as well with AC mode. I put in dual and Tri pane they are worth
the upgrade.
