      I purchased a replacement window from Pella for my bathroom in 2024. I requested an energy efficient, UV protected, window with an embedded screen. I paid $800 for a 35.5 x 53.5 inch window, not large. When it came tax time I called my salesman to request documentation of the energy efficiency. With perseverance, and several calls, texts and e-mails I received the answer that it was not Energy Star rated in my region of the country.

      Everything I read about Pella, all their advertising emphasizes that their windows and doors are energy efficient. There is a standard for that, and it is called Energy Star. If I ask for an energy efficient window I expect it to meet if not surpass the requirements of Energy Star. My window, it appears, does not.

      I feel defrauded and unheard. I think the salesman thought, my being an older woman, that I was just throwing around buzz words. I think I substantially overpaid for a window that does not qualify as energy efficient. My product number is PEL-N-208-00283-00001.

      I am happy to provide whatever documentation is required. I will appreciate the company's thoughts. I would in particular like to know what I had to say to have the sales person identify and sell me an Energy Star Energy Efficient Rated window.

      July 11,2023 I entered a signed contract with Pella to replace a leaking Pella window. The salesman had talked to the installation dept prior to giving me a contract for $3800.01. This paperwork was produced within hours, delivered, & required a $2100 deposit at signing.After the installers came to the site to view the job the price increased to $9200.00! Why did they not view the job prior to entering a contract? I did not agree to this huge increase; therefore, Pella said they would refund me, no problem. Another local reputable window company looked at the job and quoted about half the price so I requested a Pella refund on Friday July 28th. It has been 7 days of excuses for the refund delay. Because Amanda, the "refund lady", was on vacation thru July 28th is not a valid reason for withholding my money a week. Pella is super quick to collect but negligent if they have to refund...even though they initiated the contract after discussing details with their own installers. All I want is to be made whole.

      We do apologize for the confusion. There was a misunderstanding between our service department and our replacement sales department on how the window need to be replaced. A refund was sent to Mrs. ********** last week. 

      Thanks,
