Efficient window installation is easier with a professional installer

April 4, 2022 by Post

Investing in efficient windows can guarantee you savings on your electricity bill. It contributes to increasing the thermal and acoustic insulation of homes. However, replacing old, inefficient windows with new ones can be a huge investment. 

It is important that you choose a specialized professional who can help you in diagnosing the windows installed in your home and choosing the materials and other technical characteristics. 

Learn how to choose the company and how to complain if something goes wrong during the process.

Considerations when choosing a company

Before awarding the installation of windows to the window replacement experts at Lifetime Exteriors, you should inform yourself on the subject.

Ask for multiple quotes

Request quotes from multiple companies and compare window and installation prices. You must request quotes considering the same type of windows in order to compare them. Cheap is expensive. In addition, the quote must show all VAT amounts: VAT for the windows and VAT for the labor of installing and dismantling the old windows. The budget should be as detailed as possible. Otherwise, you run the risk of being misleading.

Be wary of budgets with values ​​far below

If one of the quotes you asked for stands out for presenting a value much lower than the values ​​​​presented by competing companies, try to see if there is something that is not included in the installation. It is important that you try to find out if the company is trustworthy. 

Are company contacts (company name, location, phone number, contact person) visible on the quote sheet? Are the characteristics of the product to be installed described (type of glass, frame, type of opening, etc.)? 

Ask for reference

If the company to which you are considering contracting the installation of windows is also a window manufacturer, ask for references of works that the company has already supplied. Be wary if the company is reluctant to give you references. 

Ask if the company has its own or subcontracted assembly teams

Not all window supply companies have assembly teams. Many subcontract this service. The correct installation of windows is essential to avoid problems, and even more important than making a good choice regarding the quality of the windows to purchase. Therefore, confirm that the technicians hired to install the windows are qualified to do so.

Make sure the company gives you a deadline

When requesting a quote, you should ask the company about the deadline for the delivery of the windows and their assembly. As a rule, because they are in high demand, good companies are unable to start work right after you pay the huge amount. 

After a successful assessment, the professional window installation company will give you a quote. It is essential that you ask for a deadline for the installation, otherwise you may have to wait a long time.

Confirm that the company offers a service guarantee

Ask about the type of warranty on the windows and installation service. Several types of guarantees cover windows (guarantee of the frame profiles, the glass, and the hardware). In the case of installation, the warranty is five years, in most of the cases.
