(00:00):
Time to talk windows here on the Check
A Pro radio show and my window expert,
Lyndol Woodruff is joining me here,
Lyndol.
How are you?
Amazing.
How are you living the dream?
Thank you so much.
Thank you for asking.
You know,
it's summertime and in the summertime,
our energy bills go up and people are looking for solutions to reduce their utility bills because it does cost more for us to cool our homes in the summer than any other time of year.

(00:34):
Even in the winter.
I believe it costs less to heat than it does to cool in the summertime.
So people say,
you know what you need,
you need a new air conditioning system,
you need more insulation.
I say you might want to look at windows.
So tell me about how people can save money right now on their utility bills by replacing their old drafty windows.

(01:01):
Well,
windows is definitely one of the most important components to a,
you know,
a a really well functioning home,
overall performance temperature settings,
stuff like that.
Uh That's why we chose or my father chose way back in the day to focus on windows and make that the main focus because of how beneficial it was when he got ours replaced.

(01:25):
So when I have these conversations with people,
people say,
well,
you hype it up because you sell windows.
No,
we chose windows because of the benefits.
And so we wanna help,
we want to help people.
So really,

it drastically reduces energy bills really quickly.

(01:46):
That's,
a cool thing.
You don't have to wait around for an R.O.I., you notice an immediate difference is when those old drafty windows come out and all that old nailing fin and mortar is chipped away from the original building of,
of the house.
All that stuff's taken out and started new and you get that new good vinyl frame,
energy efficient window in with the proper caking.

(02:08):
So nothing leaks.
Those things are designed to keep all that weather outside and keep your ac and your heater in and so that it's gonna,
your ho your home's gonna heat and cool to the temperature,
you set it to much faster because nothing's escaping anymore.
Your home literally becomes like a vacuum,
the outside,
pulling the inside out and the inside,

(02:29):
pulling the outside in right around.
The 15 year old mark is when you really start to see it happening.
Um If there's old metal builder grade windows man and you got a,
a standard brick home,
it's over 15 years old,
you're losing a lot of energy and it's astounding how those bills can go down immediately.
But because the H VAC system doesn't have to work near as hard to try to keep up with the thermostat in the first place.

(02:56):
It thinks craning and craning and craning and cranking because you're losing energy.
Yeah,
that's why.
So when you can,
when you can fix that problem,
man,
it's,
it makes a world of difference really quick.
I tell people all the time,
it's not necessarily your air conditioning system and they say,
yeah,
but it's 10 years old,

(03:17):
fine.
Have an ac guy come out and take a look and maybe you want to replace that,
but that's not necessarily going to fix your problem because if you have single pain windows or even double pain windows are not efficient,
then it doesn't matter how good the air conditioning system is,
it's going to run longer,

(03:37):
which is gonna cost you more money because it's spinning more,
right?
So it's gonna be spinning the meter more.
And on top of that,
there's more wear and tear on your air conditioning system,
which means you'll be more maintenance and you'll have to replace that sooner.
I would suggest calling Lyndol and his team out.
It's not gonna cost you any money,
right?
You guys are gonna come out and take a look.

(03:59):
Absolutely 100%.
And,
and yeah,
like you just said,
that H VAC system,
it's gonna at least double in its life expectancy and you don't have all those maintenance fees for all those years that stack up and stack up because it's getting to take breaks all throughout the day and just kick it and relax and chill.
And that way now you can kick it and relax and chill in your home and it'll be much more cozy with energy efficient windows.

(04:23):
Yeah.
So,
you know,
if you're 100 and 50 if you're 100 and £50 overweight,
you don't go to the doctor and say I need a new heart.
Let's keep the old heart and change the weight,
right?
Because the heart will last longer.
And that's true.
We know that's true.
And,
and,
and so we need to think of the home as a total system and there's no question,

(04:47):
insulation in the walls in the attic are also key.
So have that checked out as well.
But for some reason,
little people don't think of the windows so much of thinking insulation and air conditioning,
air conditioning and insulation.
Um,
and I can go on about attic ventilation as well.
That's a whole another story.
Get your windows checked out,

(05:07):
contact Lyndol.
All of his information is located in the description of this podcast.
He and his team are fantastic.
They'll come out,
they'll take a look at it.
They're gonna tell you everything you need to know about your windows.
They'll tell you when they were installed,
they'll tell you what kind of uh,
windows they are because you guys know windows.
Yes,

That's what we do and I appreciate you.

(05:29):
Yeah.
