WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COMPARE WINDOWS?

Discover the most trustworthy method to compare windows by looking for the NFRC* rating on each window you're considering. As an independent certification, NFRC labels evaluate the full spectrum of window performance based on U-Factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). The lower these ratings, the superior the window's performance. U-Factor and SHGC's priorities fluctuate depending upon your climate, hence, it's essential to choose the most advantageous NFRC ratings suitable to your local weather conditions in places like Boise, Meridian, Cascade, McCall, and Donnelly. So, navigate through the marketplace chaos and opt for the best performing windows at the most reasonable cost, right here at The Window Source of Western Idaho, proudly serving from Valley County to Boise.

Does The Window Source have Energy Star windows and doors?

Indeed, every window or patio door purchased with a LowE glass upgrade will meet the Energy Star guidelines for the climatic zone where it is purchased. This assurance is always provided in writing on your contract specifications. This ensures you always order and receive the finest LowE glass that is perfectly suited for your specific climate zone. The Window Source of Western Idaho is committed to providing this service to those residing from the Valley county all the way to Boise, encompassing towns and cities like Boise, Meridian, Cascade, McCall, and Donnelly.

Are tax credits available for windows and doors?

Absolutely, there is an opportunity for you to qualify for a 30% federal tax credit up to $600 for window replacements that align with Energy Star guidelines. This tax credit is part of the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit which has been extended through 2032, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This credit applies to both the purchase and installation costs of qualified energy-efficient windows and doors.

Is the installation as important as the window?

Absolutely, a window requires accurate measurements to ensure a proper fit within the opening, and to provide sufficient tolerance for perfect plumb and square alignment of the new window. If the new window isn't correctly installed in terms of plumb and square, it will not seal and function optimally, regardless of the high quality of the new window itself. The Window Source of Western Idaho specializes in these precision tasks. Located in Council Idaho, we proudly serve the communities of Boise, Meridian, Cascade, McCall, and Donnelly, extending our services from Valley County to Boise.

We just had The Window Source install 6 new windows and a sliding door. They look fantastic! All the windows are triple pane and are very efficient and high quality. The fact that they were about 1/2 the price of the competition was a sweet bonus! Aaron and his team did a great job and showed up on time and were very professional. And no high pressure sales tactics – very refreshing. I would recommend The window Source to all my friends and family.
