Short answer? Yes. But let’s break it down so you can decide for yourself.

If you live in Milwaukee, Madison, Waukesha, or anywhere in Southeastern Wisconsin, you already know how rough the winters can get. Between freezing temps, icy winds, and that bone-deep chill that never quite leaves the house, your windows play a much bigger role than you might think.

So—are Andersen Windows really worth the investment in our climate? Here's what you should know.

Why Windows Matter More in Wisconsin

Old, drafty windows do more than make you uncomfortable. They let heat escape, cold air sneak in, and your furnace work overtime to compensate. That adds up—fast.

If your current windows are:

• Over 15–20 years old
• Leaky or drafty (you feel a chill standing near them)
• Single-pane or thin double-pane glass
• Hard to open or showing signs of condensation inside the panes

...you're probably paying more than you need to for heat—and still feeling cold.

Why Homeowners Are Choosing Andersen Windows

Andersen has a reputation for durability, performance, and long-term value. But the real reason Wisconsin homeowners choose them? They work.

Here’s what sets them apart:

✔ 100 Series (Fibrex® Composite)

Made with Andersen’s patented Fibrex® composite (same material used in Renewal by Andersen), with a smooth, maintenance-free interior and exterior. Available in several colors—including the popular black exterior/ white interior modern look.

✔ 400 Series (Classic Wood Interior)

Features the classic Andersen wood interior Wisconsin homeowners love, which can be stained or painted to match existing wood work,with a low-maintenance vinyl-clad exterior.

✔ A-Series (Architectural Grade)

Andersen’s top-line window—real wood interiors (pine, maple, or oak) with a durable Fibrex® exterior. Offers the most style, color, and shape options, perfect for high-end or custom homes.

Will You Save on Energy Bills?

Absolutely. Most Wisconsin homeowners see a 15–30%reduction in heating costs after replacing old windows with modern Andersen windows. That’s not just savings—it’s comfort you’ll feel every day.

What About the Price?

Installed pricing (including the window, labor, insulating and cladding the exterior trim, and replacing the interior casing if needed):

• 100  Series: $1,500–$2,000
• 400  Series: $1,800–$2,400
• A-Series: $2,000–$3,000
