Farley Windows
I recently received a quote for double pane Farley Windows from Home Depot. There price was good, and the warranty excellent. My housing situation is I’m located on a large acreage of trees (with a lifetime supply of firewood available. I’m looking at a low SHGC window, even though I’m in Prince Edward Island, Canada, since my heat is free, but I’d have to pay for AC. I’m not looking for the world’s most efficient window. I just want to get good value for my money, good warranty and be comfortable in either a hot or cold windy day sitting beside the window. Overall I just want a well made window for a fair price. I’m heavily leaning toward the Farley at this point and am looking for any opinions as to why I shouldn’t, if there are any.
Thanks for your opinions everyone.
Take care,
Mitch

Mitch,
Online reviews for Farley Windows are discouraging -- but you may want to take these reviews with a grain of salt, because online reviews are often posted by a relatively small number of customers who are angry.

As far as I know, Farley was bought out about 3 years ago by KP. These reviews I've also read, and they are all older reviews it seems. I did talk to a couple of locals that installed them, and they are happy. Still, never hurts to get more opinions from the guru's. Thanks for the links!
