Full Home Replacement
in Los Altos, CA

Project Overview

This Los Altos homeowner was facing several common problems found in older Bay Area homes. The original windows were single-pane units with thin steel frames that had reached the end of their service life.

Over the years, the windows had developed multiple issues:

  • Significant air drafts throughout the home
  • Poor insulation during both summer and winter
  • Rust and corrosion on several steel frames
  • Deteriorated seals between frame components
  • Condensation and recurring mold growth on glass and frames
  • Increased heating and cooling costs
  • Reduced indoor comfort

During the winter months, the heating system ran almost continuously in an effort to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. In the summer, the air conditioning system struggled to keep the home cool. The homeowner also spent considerable time performing mold prevention and maintenance around the aging window frames.

Our Solution

Console Home Improvements completed a full home window replacement using premium Andersen® replacement windows featuring dual-pane insulated glass with High Performance SmartSun™ Glass and HeatLock® Technology.

The new Andersen window system was selected to improve energy efficiency, indoor comfort, long-term durability, and overall home performance.

Why Andersen High Performance SmartSun™ with HeatLock® Glass?

Superior Solar Heat Control

SmartSun™ Glass helps block unwanted solar heat while still allowing natural daylight to enter the home. This helps reduce cooling demands during warmer months and improves overall comfort throughout the year.

UV Protection

SmartSun™ Glass filters up to 95% of harmful UV rays that can damage flooring, furniture, artwork, and interior finishes while still maintaining excellent natural light transmission.

Improved Energy Efficiency

HeatLock® Technology adds an additional energy-saving coating that helps reflect indoor heat back into the home, reducing heat loss and improving thermal performance.

Enhanced Year-Round Comfort

The combination of SmartSun™ and HeatLock® Technology helps keep homes cooler during hot weather and more comfortable during cooler months by improving insulation performance.

Dual-Pane Insulated Glass

The new dual-pane insulated glass units significantly outperform the original single-pane steel windows, helping reduce temperature fluctuations and improve overall comfort throughout the home.

Project Results

Following the installation, the homeowner immediately noticed improvements throughout the home:

  • Reduced drafts and air infiltration
  • Improved indoor comfort
  • Better temperature consistency between rooms
  • Increased energy efficiency
  • Reduced strain on heating and cooling systems
  • Elimination of rusted window frames
  • Cleaner, modern appearance
  • Reduced maintenance requirements
  • Improved home value and curb appeal

The transformation completely changed how the home feels throughout the year. What was once an uncomfortable house with aging single-pane steel windows is now a modern, energy-efficient living space designed for long-term performance.
