Compare apples to apples.
The quality of frames, glazing, hardware and accessories varies widely. For an explanation, see the Efficient Windows Collaborative's online explanation of How windows work.

Save energy.
By lowering heating and cooling costs, energy efficient windows can provide a return on your investment. As an ENERGY STAR® partner, Andersen Corporation has determined that all products bearing the ENERGY STAR logo meet or exceed the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. Find out more about ENERGY STAR® Windows.

Get more home.
If you're building or buying a new home, installing energy efficient windows can help you qualify for a bigger loan. For details, along with a list of participating lenders, check out the EPA's ENERGY STAR® Home Program.

Reduce maintenance.
You'll never have to spend time and money scraping and painting the exterior of an Andersen window. The trim is protected by a vinyl cladding that doesn't need painting; the natural wood cores are treated with a special water repellent for durability.

Avoid replacements.
Well-built windows simply last longer. In our case, it's so long that we still stock parts for windows we made in 1939.

Add resale value.
The way real estate appreciates, resale is something we all think about. Few elements make as much impact as windows. And, in particular, a good window. According to a recent J.D. Power and Associates satisfaction survey: "...Quality physical features, such as doors and windows, landscaping, are most important to home buyers and contribute the most to customer satisfaction."

Peace of mind.
While quality windows are a sound financial investment, the peace of mind they provide is priceless.

Our warranty's one of the best in the business. Plus, it's non-prorated and stays with the window even if the home changes owners.

We have more than 700 authorized service representatives nationwide including Accurate Windows and Doors in the Central Florida area.
