Climate Solutions Windows Reviews :: Classic Series
Bid Scientific American
Hi Dane, my quote for 15 double hung (1 with privacy glass and 1 with tempered glass) and 2 fixed frame are as follows:
Home Depot - Simonton VantagePointe Cost - $12,700.00 - 20 year product warranty, lifetime labor install(This quote was given in May so I'd have to see if they would honor it).
Lowes - Pella 250 Windows Cost - $13,050.00 - 1 year labor, limited lifetime warranty on product
Scientific American Classic Series - $13,150.00 - lifetime warranty that includes labor(this price only includes replacing 1 picture window, not both)
So the Scientific American quote is about $1600 - $1700 more seeing they're not replacing the both pictures like Home Depot and Lowes is.
I never heard of ClimateSolutions. I was told Scientific American doesn't carry Soft-Lite anymore. I'm working on getting another quote, trying to get quotes for Soft Lite and/or Okna, maybe Kensington windows?
Thanks!

Brian, the Simonton quote sounds like the best solution so far, although I would porbably put the Pella 250 series on par with the Simonton. I think for me it would come down to the installer, which is why I don't love using the big box stores. I would want to know the company name of both so I could check their online reviews and make sure they get solid marks.
Quotes from a dealer who carries Soft Lite, Okna, and Kensington sounds like a good plan! Read all of our Kensington Windows Reviews here.

Climate Solutions Windows Reviews :: 7100 Series
The Climate Solutions 7100 series is the company's "drop down" vinyl window series - basically their second best vinyl window option.

7100 Series Review
Dane, I received a quote for 9 double hungs on the Climate Solutions 7100 series for a 3 season front porch for $6,885 and a 3 light top of the Climate Solutions 8100 window for $1,340. Total is $8,225. I live in Chicago so replacement window prices are a bit higher. My question is would I get the same quote from say an Okna window or Soft-light Windows? Thanks.

Olivia, my notion is that Soft-Lite and Okna Windows would be more expensive, but you can NEVER tell. I'm often stunned by how bids come in -- half the time I think they throw out a price on the spot. I'd get those bids and see! It can only help! Happy to take a look when you collect them. I have a few other Chicago companies if you're interested...

Climate Solutions 8100 Series Windows Reviews
Could you provide me with your recommendations? I have three windows facing north and also facing the lake. I received a quote from Goverla to replace with Climate Solutions 8100 windows, bottom sash tempered glass because less than 18” from floor. The cost to remove all and replace frame is $5400.

Absolutely Kell. Collect a few more bids (you can also use our free window quote form) and then let's circle back and take a look at what you have!

Climate Solutions 8100 series
Hi Dane, please would you share your recommendations for a replacement window company? We live in Aurora, IL, which is about 45 min west of Chicago. We just had the front upper windows replaced on our raised ranch home, and it was done by Window Concepts. They used Climate Solutions 8100 series. Cost was reason we did not do whole house.
But upon getting these done, and now having another window leak, we are looking at buying the bullet and replacing the rest. Truly did not shop around other than to check Menards, and now we are wondering if we should have…. Yes, of course. So here we are. Any thoughts you would be willing to share would be most appreciated.

8100 Series Review
Dane, starting to get replacement window bids and have one from Home Improvements USA to install the 8100 series. I'm looking to see how they 'fit' into the ratings: high end, mid range, entry, etc. Are you familiar with the window? Ratings? Thanks.

Doug, I really don't know anything about their products. They either manufacture them themselves or they buy them and relabel them. I don't recognize the name of the window. Home Improvement USA seems to get good reviews though...
