Should I buy double or triple pane replacement windows?

Sometimes people ask me the question about the difference between double and triple glass windows. There are a few things we must consider. 1.) Double pane glass is lighter than triple pane. Often triple pane is too heavy and can cause stress on the frame of the window. 2.) Triple pane is more insulated because there is more argon gas. This level of insulation is only needed in the very cold climates. 3.) Triple pane replacement windows are much more expensive. For the Ohio area recommend double pane windows. Checking with the Energy Star website, the double pane windows fit into recommended guidelines for Ohio.
