I replaced mine with double-pane windows about 3 years ago, and honestly, the difference on my bills wasn't huge. Noticeable, sure—but not exactly life-changing. Comfort-wise though? Totally worth it. Triple-pane seemed overkill unless you're somewhere brutally cold...
"Triple-pane seemed overkill unless you're somewhere brutally cold..."
I get that triple-pane might seem excessive, but honestly, it's not just about the cold. Noise reduction alone can be a game-changer if you're near a busy street or airport. Installed some for a client last year who lived by train tracks—he swears by them now. Sure, cost-wise they're steep upfront, but sometimes comfort isn't only about temperature...just something to think about.
Good point about noise reduction—people often overlook that. If you're already spending on new windows, might as well consider all the benefits. Plus, triple-pane can help with energy bills even in moderate climates...so not totally overkill, imo.
