Even on window sales... a long term decision... I still have not seen any amount of concern for energy efficiency as it relates to heating; nor have we see new housing return to the more compact norms of the past.
Families of four use to live in homes of around 1000-1200 square feet in the 40s/50s, and now retired couples are ''downsizing'' to 3000 square feet or more.

Your comment on inflation is not supported by facts. Guess the data is all wrong..... and your situation is better than most.
Fuel usage is being watched by consumers. Heating fuels will be a shock.
Food prices are really rising. People are hurting. Glad your situation is not having any problems.
I don't care about window sales...just smoke IMHO, as most do not replace windows frequently.

Nice try but I don't buy it.
