Just wanted to share a quick win—after months of debating, I finally bit the bullet and went for krypton-filled windows instead of argon. Honestly, wasn't sure if I'd even notice a difference, but wow, the house feels way more comfortable now. Temps are steady, drafts are gone, and my energy bill actually dropped a bit. Anyone else switched gases in their windows and had a similar experience? Curious if this is typical or if I just got lucky, haha.
Glad you're noticing a difference, krypton definitely has its perks. But honestly, from my experience, the jump from argon to krypton isn't always noticeable for everyone. I upgraded one room with krypton-filled windows last year and didn't see much change compared to my argon ones—maybe my insulation was already pretty solid? Still, every house is different...sounds like yours was a perfect fit. Either way, nice job tackling that upgrade yourself.

Interesting point about the insulation factor. When I switched from standard double-pane to argon a few years back, the difference was night and day—especially noticeable during those brutal winter months. But then again, my house is on the older side, built in the late 70s, so insulation wasn't exactly top-notch to begin with. Krypton always intrigued me, but given your experience, maybe it's not always worth the extra cost if your place is already well-insulated.
Makes me wonder if window placement or even climate zone plays a bigger role than we realize. Did you notice more improvement in comfort or energy bills? I'm curious if anyone else has seen a significant difference based on their home's age or location...
