Does anyone have any recommendations, or pros/cons to any of the companies/windows listed above? I really just want a window that is built and installed correctly and will keep the heat in (all windows are north facing, so don't see much sun).

Thank you in advance :-)

We just completed the installation of 12+Andersen windows and a large sliding door.

We ordered their top grade. We hoped that they were as good as their extensive advertising indicates.

They were not.

We are fighting with them to get them to replace some of the windows, without having to sue them, but needless to say we would never specify Andersen products again. Ever.
