"My computer (Windows XP) was running very slow and had become almost inoperable. It was taking a very long time to process anything, especially anything to do with the internet. IE was taking 100% of the cpu most of the time. Jim worked on my computer remotely for several days defragging, cleaning, anti-virus, malware, etc., but could not get it to perform anywhere near where it should. We decided that I needed a new computer. Jim built me a new computer (Windows 7 with racing stripes). The new system works very well and I am pleased with it. When Jim switched my files over from old to new, the Kodak Easy-Share program with my pictures did not get transferred. He has promised to make that transfer when he installs a new door covering the DVD reader which was broken upon setup. I will update this review when this occurs. I am very pleased with the new system and would do it all over again if a similar situation were present. "
"Sales process was good, courteous and helpful. Installation instructions were easy to follow. Did have a small issue with one sensor which was easily solved with a call. Control panel is easy to use and well constructed. Phone app is the best part. Not a big fan of a 2 year contract and the monthly rate feels a little high, but definitely a decent system. I had emailed them a question pertaining installing on double hung windows and never received a reply, but other than that their phone support prior to that was good."
"The claim process was so smooth. We submitted the claim for each service online and we got response Email with the appointment time and mechanic detail. The technicians showed up within the appointment window and did a good job. We are overall happy with the Choice warranty for the price and value."
"The windows were installed. A screen was damaged and to be replaced. After two years no screen and numerous calls. Their word and guarantee to us is worthless...... never again! I have learned a lesson........ "

"Over the years we feel like we have gotten value from this service, however, there are constraints on that value. They have replaced dishwashers and air conditioners etc. for us when ours have died. They replace one for one - equal quality for equal quality. We have been allowed to upgrade (by paying the difference) to better replacements and then they have covered those new replacements. All in all, it has worked for us. Here is why they don't get a better rating from us. They obviously negotiate deals with repair/replacement providers which means you are not high priority for these providers which is reflected in their responsiveness to your needs. This past few years, it appears like they are far more reluctant to replace equipment. As an example we have two 18 year old air conditioners that break down at least twice a season. For the past three seasons it seems as if they have practically rebuilt the things vs. just declaring them dead. Each time there is a service call, we pay $75 so it has begun to add up. Today, (Saturday) our hot water heater began delivering rusty water and when we checked it, we saw that it has apparently been leaking for awhile and so is likely close to bursting. In my mind this is an emergency. AHS (who heard the whole story0 called a company which called me right a way but the earliest they could get someone out was Tuesday. This is the absolute maximum time window in our AHS agreement (48 hours - business days). It didn't matter that between now and then we could have 60 gallons of water flood our house. I called AHS and asked for another provider. They first suggested that we shut the water to the house off (really?) but they did contact another, who did not bother to call back (they were open at the time of contact). My husband and I went to Angie's List and called one of the A rated companies. Long story short is they were here within an hour and we will have a new hot water heater today. "
Water leakage through window openings is much more common in older homes, but it can also create issues with window frames that are improperly installed. If left unattended, water buildup can cause damage to surrounding fixtures, lead to harmful mold, and compromise the architectural integrity of your home. The potential damage that a water leak poses makes investing in weather- and water-proofing your window frames entirely worthwhile.
Awning windows are just like hopper windows except that they open the opposite way. Instead of opening inward, awning windows open outward with a hinge at the top. This creates a mini-awning within your window frame, which is where the name comes from. Hopper windows, on the other hand, open inward with a hinge at the bottom.
Yes, triple-pane windows are more resistant to condensation. They help to reduce interior condensation that forms as a result of warmer temperatures inside your home than outside it. This makes them a good fit for cooler climates, particularly with newer, well-sealed homes that retain higher levels of moisture in the winter months.
On average, bay windows are three times as expensive as a standard double-hung window, so up-front cost is a major drawback. They also let in more natural light than most other types of windows, which can be a positive thing, but it can also lead to more aggressive fading and UV damage to furniture and flooring. Larger windows allow for more heat transfer, so bay windows tend to be less energy-efficient due to their size. Finally, window treatments for bay windows can be more challenging to find, and they’re more expensive than those you’d place over standard-sized windows.
Whether or not it's worth it to install double-hung windows depends on several key factors. First, double-hung windows cost more than single-hung windows, so if you’re looking to lower costs, you might find it more worthwhile to choose single-hung windows. If you want the lowest maintenance requirements, though, double-hung windows are easier to clean.
Double-hung windows also offer better ventilation, making them a good option for bathrooms and kitchens. Single-hung windows have better energy efficiency than double-hung windows because they have only one moving part.
