Window vs. glass replacement.

Do you work the Eatonton area? Lake Sinclair.
The tag in the window is Hallman Wood Products. Local building supplier.
I don’t blame you. Anyone in this area that you would recommend ?
No, I don't know any glass contractors in that area unfortunately. It shouldn't be too hard to find a competent glass company in your local area. You are welcome to reach out to me and get my advice on any quotes you receive.
I’m going to swing by Hallmans one day this week and go from there.
Thanks for the help.
1), 80% of your heating and cooling cost is lost through your ceilings.2) 80% of the rest is through the windows and doors. 8% through the walls. If you have crossed #1 off the list then move on to #2. If they are standard sizes Google sash replacements. Pull the sash trim, save most of it , new tracks and argon filled low E windows for a 3rd of the cost. My wife could do it. Struggle is finding a sales person to sell them at builder cost.
If non traditional sizes<Champion or Window world world come to mind. Know your sizes and try to stay out of the traditional salesman. Back in the day we could do 2 houses a day with sash replacements. I did mine in 1 1/2 days by myself
Giving your age You are looking at a 10 to 15 year investment for yourselves. Sash replacement is my opinion. If your kids will live there forever and money is not a option, Anderson full replacement that included pulling trim sealing, painting ETC.
The window companies build sash replacements for standard sizes that fit inside the standard. you loose 2 or so inches from there. PM me and i could possibly reach out to my customers in Covington for a sales person in the area.; such a deal I would not make for my own brother if I had one.

What’d you end up doing?
Our house has issues with uneven heating/cooling. I know the seals on some windows have failed because they’re cloudy. I’m trying to figure out if it’s a draft issue or uneven insulation issue. Or something else more expensive I hadn’t yet considered .
“Buy a home,” they said. “Enjoy the tax write offs,” they said ………….
19yr old windows + your final home = Spend the money to get replacement windows made. I replaced all 11 single pane windows in my brick ranch home with replacements. It was easy to do and I did it myself.
