Post subject:  Looking for Honest Advice on Windows in Ottawa

Hi everyone, I’m a homeowner in Ottawa and I’m finally getting around to thinking about replacing the windows in my house. Our winters here have been tougher than expected the past few years, and I’ve started noticing cold spots and drafts near some of the older windows.
I’m trying to understand what kind of windows really perform well in Ottawa’s climate — something that holds up in cold, wind, and moisture without costing a fortune. There are so many products out there that it’s hard to know what’s worth investing in.
Has anyone in Ottawa gone through this recently and found a solution that made a real difference?

Yes, I went through the same process last year, and I totally understand where you’re coming from. With the varied weather we get here in Ottawa — freezing winters, wet springs, and everything in between — choosing the right windows really matters.
What I found helpful was focusing on windows that are specifically designed for climates like ours, with good insulation values and durable seals, instead of just picking the cheapest option. After my upgrade, the house felt warmer and more consistent inside, and I noticed a real improvement in comfort without constantly adjusting the thermostat.
If you’re still looking into options, this page about windows in Ottawa gave me a much clearer idea of what features actually matter for homes here.
