Anyone out there have AMI vinyl windows? I got a bid today from Window World for 8 double hung, argon filled, low E windows for $255 ea installed, any size. Total bid after all options turned out at $2900. Seems to be a very good price to me. They are Energy Star rated so they must be pretty efficient. My windows are in bad shape and I’m sick of putting plastic up every winter.

I think I paid about $175/window 7 years ago and had to install them myself…

That price is better than what I am paying for 7 windows here in the NW after 6 bids. The bids varied widely with I believe a high bid of 4400$, and low of 2600 or 2900$. I would be sure to get a few bids because of the variation that I found.

Yeah, I’m getting 3 bids to see what the differences are. This Window World outfit seems pretty good tho. I already know Andersen Windows are at least twice as much.

Andersen’s are not worth the money anymore.  Another company living off its name…

I have had Window World AMI Windows for 2 years at this house and 5 years at a rental and have been very happy with them.  Each office is independently owned and operated so I would guess the install depends on the quality of the operation.

BTW: I have same windows you are looking at.

Ryan,
Do you have the WW 4000 series windows? Are they air tight? I read a review that they leaked air. They also offer a upgrade “Super Spacer” that brings the U factor down below .23? It would be $400 more for the bid on 8 windows. Don’t really know if I need it or not?

I still can’t make up my mind whether to take the plunge. I figure my windows have to be replaced sooner or later but with the economic check coming soon it would make it alot easier to get it done now.

Good Morning Todd,

I have the Comfort World 4000 with the Low E and the argon filled glass.  I think i paided 285 or so for each window.  I regularly check the windows in my current house with the candle check and they do not leak a bit of air (i am a geek like that).  I was surprised of the quality for 285 or so dollars.

I would recommend them.

I can’t really comment on the extra spacer for the increased U value.  For me it would all depend on how long you plan to stay in your house.  If you plan to stay in the house for a long period i would get the best you can afford.  That is what i did.

Thanks,
I decided to take the plunge. Went with the WW 4000 without the extra spacers for $255 ea installed. Other bids couldn’t come close or answer all my questions.

Good to hear.  When are you going to have them installed?

Let me know how you make out and what you think after then job is finished.

Hey Todd.......Did you get your new windows installed yet?
