Product reviews: Easy Order Window Inserts Online

After my gas bill doubled and 80+ mph winds which caused single pane windows to leak even more, I searched online and found www.windowinserts.com. Jessica and Eric are great to work with, no heavy sales pitches, just direct good info on how to make sure how to measure, etc.

Lessons learned, be sure to review the window inserts video and download the measurement form. Also measuring the windows is critical, and in more location vertically and horizontally. The time taken to do this correctly allows for perfect fit inserts. After careful measurement all the window inserts fit very well without any problems.

I have used these inserts for months now and am truly impressed with the change in temperature and how well regulated it is with the inserts. Before the inserts I always in the winter had cool air from the floor up to about 3 feet high. No more. Also on warm days, up into the 90's my house is keeping so much cooler that I have never experienced in the 23 years renting this house.

In summary, this is one of the best purchases, with the greatest benefits, that I have purchased in years.

We purchased eight inserts for our porch. All but one fit perfect. Called and spoke with Eric and received a replacement within ten days. We love these inserts for our porch. They fit perfectly over our screens,so that you can't even tell that they are there. My husband secured them with tension rods at each side to prevent the wind from pushing them out due to high winds. Customer service is great! Eric is the best! Would highly recommend them and not hesitate to purchase them again.

I received my order this morning I am very happy with your product they fit perfect in the 4 windows and will prevent heat lost and pay for them self. thank for a good product much better than taping up plastic.

Was a little wary about spending the money because we live in an apartment, but we use oil & it was costing us so much we didn't turn on the heating for one winter and just stuck with electric space heaters and electric blankets... This winter, we've been able to turn on the baseboard oil heating and we're AT LEAST saving $900/mo on our heating bill. Will be buying more to finish insulating the windows in the basement also. Plus, before the items shipped, they actually called to talk about the details of how I filled out the orders, and we changed things around based on their opinion to save shipping and be more efficient with number of splits - feels like they actually care about providing a quality experience and product.

I bought them for my 1940 Craftsman with it's original windows. I can't replace the windows due to required specs for being in a historically designated neighborhood are too cost prohibitive. The original single panes are in ok shape but they still leak. So I figured what the heck, I caught a good sale price and bought enough for every window. The process was easy and their customer service was fantastic. We talked about the type of insert I was ordering and the problems I was trying to fix.

One thing to remember, if you have blinds or shades in your windows, the inserts will have to go behind the shade or blind. So when you take your measurement you have to measure in the space behind the blinds are shades. In my case I didn't have enough space to make sure there was a one inch barrier between the window pane and the insert and still have the blind inside the frame. So, I chose to remove the blinds and replace them with curtains.

Hey Eric, thanks for your help and getting my order for my window inserts. I have received my inserts and installed them.

They've been in about three weeks or so and here's my "evaluation"

First, a couple of comments.

I've been looking at this type of storm window for our 1886 historic home in Wake Forest NC. The original windows are still in pretty good shape and are an architectural element that we would never replace with "new" windows. Replacing the windows with something new and more efficient, if done properly, would "ruin" the originality and the cost would exceed the higher electric and gas bills caused by a drafty home.
Also it's worth mentioning that I am a very experienced contractor, and do 90% of the work on my home.

My windows are surprisingly "square" and consistent in size with a reasonable amount of variance.

Installation of the insert windows was quick and easy, without need for any instructions, because of the height of our ceilings, and windows I opted for a two piece window insert.
During the winter months and certainly on windy days, or old house is drafty and when the temps drop below freezing, the house has been "chilly" and somewhat uncomfortable.
After installing the window inserts the rooms instantly felt better, less drafty- friends and our house cleaner mentioned it before we told them we had installed these windows.
It's noticeable. I can't say if it will "pay for itself" but even if it's a few hundred dollars a year they're worth it.

If anyone is ever in doubt about how they look, how easy they are to pop in, or if the are, in fact and improvement, have them call me.

As soon as I can measure the upstairs windows, you'll get another order

Thank You,

I'm really glad I found these windows. I use them as standalone windows on a screened porch, a little different than they were designed. They work great. They have held up to the elements year after year, including in Midwestern winters, I was able to custom order them for size and they're so much easier to handle than glass windows. At the same time, the materials are of high quality and they have never looked cheap or plasticky. Plus they were hundreds if not thousands of dollars less than comparable window options. I've had compliments from friends and even contractors who have seen them and wanted to know what I used.

I bought inserts for eight large panel screens for our three season porch. They had to make them in two pieces per panel due to the large sizes. They came very well packaged and I'll save the box they came in for storage when we take them out. They fit perfectly snug and will keep the snow, rain and dust out. Very nice product, and a great price.

I received my nine window inserts on Tuesday. Installing them was easy. The larger windows were a bit snug, but I followed the instructions that came inside the box and started at the top, then pushed the side edges as I went down. On my coldest window, I pulled back on the frame gently to set the insert further back from the window, creating a dead air space for better insulation. That worked well.

It took me only 30 minutes to install them yesterday afternoon. Then I didn't give it much thought until last night, when I stepped outside and noticed it was 48 degrees outside. It was still 72 in the house without the furnace being on, so I hadn't even noticed that it had gotten colder outside.

This morning there was a chill in the house because the temp had dropped another 10 degrees overnight, so I turned on the furnace.

I use to feel cold air coming from all those large windows when the heat was on. But with the inserts in place, the heat fills the whole room and there is no draft. When I walk past a window, there is no longer a temperature difference. This is going to work out nicely.

Tonight I'm having another warm and cozy evening. It appears that the house is now holding the warmer daytime temperature later into the night. I left my furnace on, but it hasn't kicked in yet and it's now 46 degrees outside. These inserts are exactly what you said they'd be. That almost never happens these day. I'm loving this!

Thank you so much.

We ordered 14 inserts last May for our screen porch and wanted to go through a couple seasons to test the inserts before making a decision if they were worth the time, effort and money. These inserts were worth every penny we spent! What a find!

First, the fit was perfect. We put them up in the spring to avoid all the pollen. What a difference in cleanup from the pollen when we took them down for the summer. Now, we've had them up all winter. We have been able to use this screen porch the entire winter....with no additional heat needed! The back of our house is full sun, so any sunny day, it warmed the entire room to where you didn't even need a jacket.

We've gained a whole other room for additional seasons. We did have a few oops's with them not remaining in the window during high wind days, but they remained fine and undamaged from coming out of the window. We managed to perfect how to keep them in the windows now and could not be happier! Congrats on this great product!!

Purchased mine last year. Love them. I was looking at several alternatives, these were by far the most cost effective solution. Put them up, secured with a couple of small screws just for wind gusts, and we enjoyed our screen porch an additional 3 months. Used a small heater and we were able to sit out comfortably even on 40 degree days, no problem. Customer service was fantastic. Called a couple of times with questions, and Eric made the entire process extremely easy. I have since recommended them to several friends. Would definitely recommend them.

We renovated a 1760s house north of Albany NY that sits on a hill so to say the least, our windows are old and drafty. Even with exterior storm windows we fought to keep the house warm the first winter. We saw interior storm windows at a B&B and found Window Inserts on-line. We immediately ordered one to see how it would work and loved it so much we ordered them for the rest of the house. They work fabulously by keeping the drafts out and the heat in. We have since ordered more for our Adirondack home, equally as old and drafty!

We ordered and installed our window inserts a couple months ago and we so pleased with them! They fit perfectly and we are amazed by how much of a difference they are make. No more drafts, the area by the windows are much warmer, and they even make it quieter. You can't beat these inserts! They look great, too! Very, very happy with them!

Good evening. Received 4 window inserts. Packaged really well. Installed already and love. I will let you know if anything different after winter. Happy new year.

Everyone has commented on how much warmer my house has been this winter, without even realizing or noticing my new interior window inserts because they are almost invisible. I have deep window sills, so I am able to display a collection of colored glass on the window sill, behind the window insert. Even I sometimes reach for objects and hit the insert ....they are that invisible!! I have actually begun to experience the financial gain from using less heating oil to also saving on electricity because my furnace and blower are not constantly cycling! Just amazing instant results!

I would like to thank you so very much for a couple of reasons. The first being that you provide a great quality interior window insert product that is so simple to use while providing instant results. Secondly, your customer service is spectacular and second to none. With a great quality product and superb customer service, it has been such a pleasure doing business with you.

I bought my first batch of inserts in 2007; I have a c. 1790 cape in Maine, and I needed to stop drafts around and protect my ancient sashes from moisture. I did an addition in 2009 and bought more. I love this product! They are of high quality, are easy to handle and store, and absolutely work as advertised. I am now replacing foam on some of them, and I'm reminded of how helpful Eric was and is and feel compelled to comment again on the great product and customer service. Also, although most of my inserts are over 13 years old now, all are in perfect shape; they are as solid, clear and serviceable as the day I received them from Energy Savr. Thank you Eric and everyone else there at the company!

I love mine. Easy to install. Easy to remove. They really help regulate the temperature, and they’re attractive. No complaints here. It took about a week-maybe 10 days from ordering to delivery. I’m in Texas, where we’ve had 67 days above 100 degrees & my electric bill has been about $50 less each month from last year. I only did 2 rooms.

These are excellent. They work as advertised. Well built, sturdy, and make a good seal. I have purchased these for every window the house. They really do reduce heating costs.

I ordered one as a test to see how I would like it. WOW what a difference it makes. No more breeze coming in. I measured it and it fit like a glove. I am VERY impressed with the product. I ordered the tan and it matches perfectly. I just placed an order for 2 more and will see how these do. I am sure they will be as amazing as the first one. Thanks for a great product.

WOW! Not only did I get a phone call, but also a text from Eric asking questions about my order. After he reviewed my order, he call to make sure the type/style could be changed to save me some money on shipping. Then he took some time to hear my issues with the windows. Eric gave me advice on things I should be looking for and how to correct it. Who does that today? Who takes time to listen? They do and I know that I went to the right place. Thanks Eric

Inserts work great. Fit perfectly and stopped the drafts. Great solution when replacing windows aren't an option.

I ordered two large window inserts for my living room floor to ceiling windows. Not only did Windows Inserts suggest that I get two window inserts for each window to save shipping charges but they manufactured the inserts to fit the openings perfectly and they look outstanding. I installed the inserts in approximately 30 minutes (took a 10 minute break between windows). These inserts appear to be well made and look very good installed. I highly recommend this company for energy efficient inserts to help save money on your energy bills. One of the best parts is that they can be removed as easily as they were installed. Great Job Windows Inserts! Love them. Memphis, TN.

Our Georgia house faces near due west, so the front windows receive the harsh afternoon sun for several hours. Plus, the windows themselves are aluminum, single pane glass and drafty in all seasons. We had been pricing new windows, which are pretty expensive these days. I stumbled over Window Inserts and decided to give them a try for a lower cost, comfortable, energy saving solution. The material looks like it will last for a long time, they are removable, and the installation was very, very easy. We were so pleased with the first inserts, we decided to "triple" pane the front windows and add two more Southwest facing bedroom windows. I just finished installing the second order and for once we are looking forward to the fierce afternoon sun and cold weather that will be coming soon. Thank You Window Inserts!

I should say I didn't give 5 stars only because I just got my 8 inserts and installed them and haven't had time to assess a full winter's use and because I rarely rate anything a total absolute... that said, I am very happy w/ this product. I just bought a 20-yr old modular house where many of the double-hung windows did not latch shut! With winter just around the corner, I did not want to start shopping for new windows and couldn't get any local contractors to come take a look at my windows (all busy or considered it too small a job for the money?)... I also didn't want to tape loose plastic over my windows and remove it every year. I was quite anxious about the problem but happened upon mention of this company on social media. The reviews seemed to good to be true and I was worried about being scammed but the fact that these were Made In America and some personal phone communications w/ the staff regarding shipping made me give it a try. They arrived in 3 weeks and very super easy to install. I do recommend them and am looking forward to a cozy winter and relieved that I won't see oil dollars floating out these windows! Thank you so much!! Tammy V.

I just had the first opportunity today to install the inserts. OMG, these are the nicest units I could have ever imagined. I'm a business owner along with be ultra picky about everything thing I do and buy. I can always find something wrong with every product, but

I'm have to say that I couldn't find anything wrong with your product, quality and craftsmanship. The inserts arrived right on time, the boxing method you used was just like I saw on the videos and couldn't be more perfect. Inside, the inserts were well packed and protected.

The inserts fit perfect. I felt an immediate change in room temperature, turned down the furnace right after installing them. I really impressed with your inserts. I all ready have been spreading your products to friends and my customers even before I received the inserts. Everyone has been waiting for the installation report, when I tell them how wonderful they fit a long with the quality, I'm sure that they will be ordering also. Due to my perfection standards people follow whatever I purchase.

I will be a full time salesman for your product for years to come.

Thank you and your team for building a quality product that they can be proud of right here in the USA. God Bless you. It actually took me longer to email you than it took to install my inserts. Thanks again.
