Question 1

How much does window replacement cost?

Accepted Answer

Window replacement cost varies based on window style, size, and glass package. Window Werx offers free in-home estimates with transparent pricing. We also offer 0% financing for 24 months and can help you access the Canada Greener Homes Loan for up to $40,000 interest-free.

Question 2

What are the best windows for cold climate in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

For Ontario's extreme winters, we recommend triple-pane vinyl windows with Low-E 366 coatings and argon gas fills. Casement windows provide the tightest seal, while our multi-chambered PVC profiles with fusion-welded corners deliver superior thermal performance. All our windows are Energy Star rated for the Canadian climate zone.

Question 3

Should I choose vinyl or fiberglass windows?

Accepted Answer

Both vinyl and fiberglass windows offer excellent energy efficiency. Vinyl windows are the most popular choice for Ontario homes due to their durability, low maintenance, and excellent thermal performance at a competitive price point. Fiberglass offers slightly higher structural rigidity. Our consultants can help you choose the best option for your specific needs.

Question 4

How do I fix drafty windows?

Accepted Answer

Drafty windows are typically caused by failed seals, worn weatherstripping, or outdated single-pane glass. The most effective solution is professional window replacement with energy efficient vinyl windows featuring multi-chambered profiles and Low-E glass. This eliminates drafts, reduces heating costs, and improves home comfort year-round.

Question 5

What is the difference between triple pane and double pane windows?

Accepted Answer

Triple pane windows have three layers of glass with two insulating gas-filled spaces, providing superior thermal performance and sound insulation compared to double pane. For Ontario's cold climate, triple pane windows significantly reduce heating costs and virtually eliminate condensation. They cost more upfront but deliver better long-term energy savings.

Question 6

Are new windows worth the investment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New energy efficient windows can reduce heating and cooling costs by 15-30%, increase your home's value, eliminate drafts and condensation, reduce outside noise, and improve curb appeal. With 0% financing and government rebates like the Canada Greener Homes Loan, the investment is more affordable than ever.
