Vinyl Windows

Energy Star certified triple-pane replacement windows qualify for a $100-per-window Energize CT rebate. HCP is an Energize CT authorized contractor and files the rebate paperwork for you. Windows are not a primary rebate category the way insulation or heat pumps are, so your estimate visit confirms what your project qualifies for.

Destiny is premium: an all-welded frame, Ccore reinforcement, Gold Series weather stripping, glass breakage warranty, and a 1-inch triple-pane option. NorthWind III is mid-tier: fusion-welded, Energy Star, lifetime warranty, with 3/4-inch dual-pane standard. Both are made by National Vinyl and installed by our team.

Triple-pane KryptoLite glass reaches a U-value of .20 -- an R-5 rating, versus about R-3 for most Energy Star windows -- cutting heat loss 30-40%. That puts these among fewer than 60 window lines nationwide on the DOE R-5 program. Every line is Energy Star certified, so it seals out drafts and eases your heating and cooling load year-round.

Structural components (jambs, sashes, balances, casings, sills), movable parts (tilt and slide mechanisms, locks), and glass against seal failure. It is fully transferable to the next owner if you sell. Destiny adds glass breakage coverage.

Double-hung, casement, picture, hopper, awning, sliding, and specialty shapes -- half-round, arched, eyebrow, and full circle. Eleven styles in all, every one meeting Energy Star. Custom sizes are available.

Solid white vinyl, nine standard painted colors, four wood-grain interior stains, and more than a dozen custom paint colors. We can also match any swatch you provide. AAMA-certified paint is warranted for 15 years.

Dual-pane Soft Coat Low-E with argon meets Energy Star and is a solid choice for most homes. Triple-pane R-5 glass adds the most efficiency and quiet, and only triple-pane qualifies for the $100-per-window Energize CT rebate. Your estimate visit helps you weigh cost against performance.

Timeline depends on the number of windows and any custom orders. Your HCP advisor provides a specific schedule during your free estimate visit.

A memory-foam bulb seal where the sash meets the sill keeps its shape after months of compression, sealing against air and water like a refrigerator gasket. The patented Duralite warm-edge spacer separates the panes with a composite material instead of metal, so it does not conduct heat or cold at the glass edge.

Yes -- virgin vinyl never needs painting or refinishing, and the NorthWind III line is designed for virtually maintenance-free, effortless operation. Both top and bottom sashes tilt in for easy interior cleaning.

Yes. Energy Star Low-E glass reduces UV transmission, which helps protect floors, drapes, sentimental photographs, and furniture from sun fading.
