    Energy loss help

    Looking for a window assesment to evaluate the efficency of windows where I rent. Anyone have free assesments?

    Also looking for a assesment on some thermostats.

    Ben curious but, why do you need to check the efficiency of the windows where you rent? its not like they would let you replace windows are they?

    Exactly. If you think it's an issue just do the plastic stuff.

    In some places if you upgrade their apartment for them they'll discount rent to compensate. Depends on the landlord. In my last apartment I had considered putting in my own central air but they only willing to partially compensate me for it. Had they knocked off the equivalent money or even come close in rent discounts i'd have paid for that in a heartbeat.

    Fuck putting money into an apartment. The work, the time, the effort. Not worth it. Windows are expensive too. I got a quote on windows for my house...$40,000 later. Move to a newer more efficient place.

    ^ +1. Don't waste your time or money. Chances are your landlord will raise your rent 2 months later anyways

    Nope. Just 18 size windows windows and two sliding doors ($5k each). It really shouldn't be that much but Weathertight is a bunch of anal stretching rapists. I laugh at them every time I see them now.

    For $40k you could hire 11 naked models to hand make the windows on site and install them with sheer nipple force.

    Dude, installing windows is mad easy and you can get energy efficient rebate windows from Menards for 100 bucks each. Let me know if you want to see if they have your size and we will check it out, I'll help install too Come on over and try mine out first if you want to see the quality

    That's what we figured we would do. I hear they are pretty easy to install. I'd love the help when I get around to it. I was thinking about doing the windows on the front of the house first and then maybe the ones on the back.

    The only windows I'm concerned with is the one in the living room which is about 8'wx6'h.

    I have two of those huge ass picture windows, neither of which are getting replaced with my salary. I was quoted 2400 bucks per window, just double pane glass not installed. Yikes

    They have temporary caulk too that goes on clear and then you can just peal it off in the spring/summer. Adam did that to a few of ours that are getting replaced in the spring.
