The $189 Window- Fact or Fiction?

The $189 Window

You see it all time. Window replacement companies advertising replacement windows for under $200. $189 installed with a lifetime warranty. So you do the math – 10 windows x $189 = $1890. That’s affordable. Seems almost too good to be true, right? That’s because it is. This form of advertising is called bait and switch. Bait and switch scams appeal to people who want to save money. A company offers a great deal, to draw customers to the business. When the customer contacts the business, they find that the deal is not available and the company then tries to convince the customer to buy something else, assuring them that they are still receiving a good deal.

How Window Companies Use Bait and Switch

Window companies advertise their base price window at $179 or $189 to get in your door. The slicked up salesmen comes in with a completely different approach. You want energy star windows, correct? You need screens on your windows, right? Oh, and then there is shipping cost. Not to mention color options, capping, grid patterns. Once everything is added up your ten $189 windows went from under $2000 to over $5000.
