Imperial LS Double Hungs White Window

This July we are featuring the Imperial LS window from Soft-Lite.  The energy efficiency and beauty of this window make it our top pick for your home.  One of it’s most energy efficient features is the triple-fin weather-strip on both sashes.  This dramatically reduces the air infiltration into your home.  During a 25 mile per hour wind, a typical vinyl window allows 1.35 gallons of air leakage per minute.  The Imperial LS allows only .15 gallons of air leakage per minute.  This gives this window an AAMA air infiltration of .02cfm which is  5 times better than the industry standard.  I know this sounds very technical but when you are comparing  windows, the ratings you should look for are the NFRC ratings which include U factor (thermal efficiency)and Solar Heat Gain (SHGC).   It is important to take if one step further and also look at the AAMA ratings which include the air infiltration rating and the structural rating.  This tells you how long the window will last and and how well it will perform over time.  Please feel free to contact us to obtain the complete ratings for the Imperial LS window.

Along with some of the best ratings on the market, the Imperial LS window comes in a variety of styles and special glass options including:

• blind between the glass
• 16 exterior colors
• 4 woodgrain options
• 8 foil laminate options

We custom make each window to fit your opening, include free low e argon gas, ½ screens and installation. Once installed, your house will look like new and you will have zero maintenance except the occasional cleaning of the glass!  We are offering $100.00 off every window ordered before July 31, 2011.  Call or email today for your free estimate.

Many of our customers tell us how the new windows we installed in their home have reduced their energy bills, made their home more energy efficient, and as an added bonus – helped eliminated stink bugs from entering their home through their windows!  This year looks like we are going to have a banner infestation, so we suggest getting new windows with full screens .  This month we are offering FREE FULL SCREENS with every new window order!

Most screens in double hung and slider windows only cover half of the opening.  They do not have a true seal against the window sash, allowing those nasty stink bugs to slither through.  We suggest getting a screen to cover your window completely on the outside.  This helps eliminate the bugs from getting in so easily.

This free offer is only good for the month of June, so contact us by phone or fill out the contact form on this website to schedule your free estimate.

I have been listening to the many ads on the radio and television about replacement window and door companies and it occurred to me that someone is paying for those ads.  That someone is YOU!  Trust me, you pay for that ad when you buy their windows and doors.  I would like to tell you why you should buy from us and why we are better than the other guy. 

We are Chesapeake Thermal and we are a local family owned and operated company located in Anne Arundel County.  We do not advertise on radio or television.  We rely on our reputation and a few local publications.

 We have been in business since 1986 and in this economy, we believe that says a lot about who we are, how we do business and our reputation.  After being in business for over 25 years, we are proud to say we have never had a complaint filed against us.  If there is a problem with your windows or doors, we work with you until you are happy. 

 We have a low overhead and do not use commissioned sales personnel.   This means savings in your pocket since we do not  pay a salary to the salesman.  Owner, Tom Dawson does all the estimates and will come to your home to provide a free no obligation consultation.  There is no pushy salesman or long drawn out presentations.  Just the facts about the award winning products we sell and are comfortable standing behind.  We also do not inflate the prices and then offer you a huge discount.  Some we have seen cut their price in half as if you are getting an incredible savings.  We do not operate that way.  The price is given at the time of the estimate is the lowest price we can offer.

 The final reasons we believe we are better that the other guy vying for your business, is our installers and the personal attention you will receive throughout the remodeling process.  We do not hire or use the lowest bidder subcontractors to install our products.  Our installers have been with us for years, they are factory trained and know the quality of work we demand.  Any questions that may arise, are answered by Tom or Nancy Dawson.  We are available to you and want to make sure you are completely satisfied.

Read the testimonials on our site and hopefully you will get an idea of how important your business is to us and how we work hard to make you happy.

Last weekend we exhibited at the Annapolis Home & Garden Expo.  This has always been a successful show for us and we love meeting and talking to our local neighbors.  If you stopped by the booth, we thank you and look forward to meeting with you again.  If you took our information packet, we hope you hang onto it until you are ready to remodel and give us a call.  Mention you met us at the show and we will honor any specials we were offering during the show.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Tom & John’s brother, Matt.  Over the past 25 years, Tom, John & Matt have worked together to build Chesapeake Thermal into the company it is today.  He always was eager to work and loved what he did.  Many of our customers would  call or write to  us after he was on the job to tell us what a great job he did and how pleasant it was to have him in their home.  We cannot express our sorrow and how deeply he will be missed by us and all the people he touched in his short time on earth.  Thank you to everyone for your kind words, thoughts and prayers  during this difficult time.

Well, we are in the doldrums of winter and there is nothing better than staying warm and cozy in our homes.  We want to make that possible for you if your house isn’t feeling “warm & cozy”.  We are offering a special deal on all of our windows.  In addition to the $100.00 off coupon we are offering, we will add double strength glass, low e coated argon filled glass, and super spacer to every Bainbridge window you order.  This is a fantastic savings and one you will want to check out if you are in the market for new windows.  Ask Tom to go over the details when he meets with you.

We are also preparing for the Annapolis Home & Remodeling Expo happening on February 26th & 27th at the National Guard Armory in Annapolis, MD.  Please look for our booth and take advantage of the special offers available only at the show.  Hours are from 10am-6pm on Saturday and 11am-5pm on Sunday.  Hope to see you there!

What a wonderful end to a busy year.  Our third quarter business was brisk to say the least.  With the end of the year came the end of the Tax Credit.  Many smart consumers chose to replace their windows and doors before the end of 2010 and will receive the 30% credit on their taxes this year.  Tom, Nancy, John & Matt would like to thank all of our customers for trusting us with your home improvements.  We hope we made your homes more beautiful and energy efficient.  Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Thanksgiving has always been our most favorite holidayof the year.  It gives us time to be with family, relax and enjoy each others company and of course eat!  This year we are especially thankful to our customers for continuing to support and trust us with their homes.  We take great pride in every project and hope that it shows in our work.  From your first meeting with Tom through to the installation, our goal is to make you feel confident you have chosen the best company to handle your project. 

We are ending this year with a bang.  So many of you have realized the benefit of the tax credit and are taking advantage of the savings.  We are grateful to each and every one of our customers and hope you and your family have a relaxing and wonderful Thanksgiving.

We are counting down the days here at Chesapeake Thermal to the end of the year.  The fall season is always the busiest time of year for us and this year it is bustling!   Time is running out to receive the 30% tax credit of up to $1500.00 for installing qualified energy rated products.  We only have about 1 month left to place orders that will be installed in time to qualify for the tax credit.  Don’t miss out and wait until it is too late, call us today to get on the schedule and have your windows installed before the end of the year.

Remember this is a tax CREDIT not a tax deduction and is credited against what you owe.  If you owe $1500 in taxes and take full advantage of the credit, you won’t owe Uncle Sam anything.  It is a great opportunity to improve the energy efficiency of your home, make it more beautiful and save money at the same time.  If you have taken advantage of a partial tax credit either this year or last year, you may consider replacing a door, or replacing windows you may not have done at that time to take full advantage of the $1500.00 credit.

Please call our office to schedule a free no-obligation appointment to see how you can take full advantage of the savings.  Time is running out, call today!

I can’t believe it is September.  The year has flown by as they seem to do and we are sad to see it end.  Especially because it will mean the end of the 2010 Energy Tax Credit.  We are getting alot of calls about this and are telling everyone to order your windows and doors now.  Our windows are custom made and take 45-60 days from contract to installation.  Plus September and October are our busiest months of the year.  Cold weather reminds us how drafty our houses really are.  So I encourage you to consider calling us soon if you are in need of new windows or doors and want to take advantage of the Tax Credit.  Tom does daytime and evening appointments and our estimates are free.
