This page is for Tampa homeowners who bought ES Windows specifically for the energy savings and are now seeing condensation between panes, higher AC bills, or glass that fogs up in the afternoon heat. If your ES Windows are still under warranty, we’ll tell you straight whether a warranty claim or a repair makes more financial sense. We’re not the ES Windows factory and we don’t pretend to be. We’re the local crew that fixes what the Florida climate does to them.

How ES Windows Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Seal failure in the ES VistaPlus series: Tampa’s humidity combined with 90-degree-plus summers works the desiccant strip inside double-pane units hard. We see VistaPlus units from the 2015-2019 build years with failed edge seals and fogging, especially on west-facing elevations that take the full afternoon sun off the bay. The fix is glass replacement with a fresh insulated unit, not a whole new window. We match the Low-E coating to the original spec.
• Argon gas loss in ES EcoShield double-panes: When argon leaks out, the window’s U-factor quietly climbs every month. Homeowners rarely notice until the power bill jumps. We test with a thermal camera and show you the temperature difference between your glass and the surrounding wall. A reglazed EcoShield unit with fresh argon and a new edge seal brings it back to ENERGY STAR performance.
• Frame warp on early ES aluminum thermal-break frames: Older ES aluminum frames with the thermal break can bow under Tampa’s summer heat cycle. A bowed frame lets conditioned air leak around the sash, which reads as a draft and kills the window’s energy rating. Depending on severity, we can sometimes correct the bow, or we replace the sash and rebalance. We’ll quote both honestly.
• Condensation trapping on the ES CoastalTint tinted lines: The CoastalTint series was popular in Tampa high-rises and condos for glare and heat rejection, but those windows are aging now. Condensation inside the room, not between panes, usually means the window is doing its thermal job but the home’s interior humidity is too high. We check the window first, then we say so if it’s an HVAC or ventilation issue and not the glass. We won’t sell you glass you don’t need.
• Weatherstripping breakdown on ES Lanai sliders: Tampa homes use lanai sliders hard, and the ES Lanai line’s wool pile strips compress after years of daily opening and closing. Once the pile flattens, you get air leaks, and in storm season, water intrusion. We replace with the correct pile density and height, which restores the air seal and blocks the draft that was eating your cooling budget.

Our ES Windows Energy-Efficient Windows Process

1. 1
   Call and describe the symptom. A live person answers, takes your address, and asks the right questions: where the window faces, when the fog started, whether it’s between panes or on the room side.
2. 2
   On-site diagnosis with tools. We bring a thermal imaging camera and a moisture meter. We don’t guess. We measure the glass temperature, check the seal, and inspect the frame and weatherstripping.
3. 3
   Straight talk on parts. If ES Windows OEM glass is available and the warranty applies, we quote it. If a quality aftermarket insulated unit matches or beats the original spec at a better price, we quote that too. You decide with all the numbers in front of you.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. For glass, we order the exact size and Low-E/argon spec, install the new unit, and replace the glazing bead with the proper material and tooling so the seal is factory-tight.
5. 5
   Test and verify. We re-shoot the window with the thermal camera, show you the before and after, and confirm the drafts and fog are gone.
6. 6
   The 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If something about our work isn’t right, we come back and make it right. That’s Ed Winslow’s name on the job, and we don’t walk away from it.
