After a brief look up on Whois on Network Solutions the owner of the domain name of Enerlux Windows is Paul V#%%&$#. Paul V also possibly owns the company called Energy Smart who promote Enerlux windows in Nebraska. After Googling (Paul V + windows) the nickname of pvondy85 or PVonDy85 appears and seems oddly familiar. Then if you search these names here on Green Building Talk a pattern begins. Currently Enerlux claims that he now carries the best window. However back in 2009 he was a Serious dealer openly promoting the Serious brand. However in his earlier posts as Enerlux, he had somehow conveniently forgotten to mention this.

Here are two of his quotes:

"I work for Energy Smart Company in Omaha, Nebraska and we are a Serious Windows dealer.  We recently installed our first order for the 700 series.  We have priced the windows versus competing brands such as Pella, Andersen, and Marvin and it prices out competitively when comparing similar frames (fiberglass).  I am a big fan of the 900 series because the marginal cost of upgrading from the 700 series to the 900 series is small but the marginal benefit is quite good.  The 1100 series is prohibitievely expensive.  It prices out over double the cost of the 700 series, primarily due to its Xenon gas fill.  Serious Windows use krypton and xenon gas fills because they are heavier gases which prevent conduction.  If you ever need a quote for Series Windows give Energy Smart Company a call at 402-505-5428".

"Serious Windows does offer a wide range of prices.  The vinyl 501 series outperforms nearly all other windows in energy efficiency with Center of Glass R values up to 9 and is extremely competitively priced.  IBACOS did a study on all the different windows on the market and they found that the 501 from Serious Windows is the best value on the market.  Below is the excerpt from the report:"

Then sometime before June 2011 there must have been a falling out with Serious and he started with Sureview. In June 2011, Serious bought out Omniglass which I believe because of his past relationship could not retain a source of lineals. He could not buy the Fibertherm line of windows either. My guess is that is where he went to either Comfortline or Inline. Obviously he had a falling out with another supplier Inline(not sure what order) which leaves him with the Comfortline system.

He then starts up Enerlux windows which he registers the domain name in July 2011. Is this because of bad credit? Fourth window supplier in 3 years? Warranty issues?

People do not change lineal suppliers because they want to, they do it because they have to. Inventory costs. Paul claims he has the best window system now, if fourth times a charm.

Now Paul has a vendetta with all the companies that have did him harm because it was not his fault, those bastards. Like I said, he is misleading everyone here. Surely Comfortline will just be another notch on his window supplier bedpost.

Enerlux mentions that he does not have NFRC certification but his windows have a measly U.19 in triple. Simply put, you have nothing. Until NFRC gives you the certification you numbers are baseless. This is the only true fair comparison. He doesn't do it for cost this and I will agree with. He will not do it probably because he doesn't know when he has to move to the next supplier. The next best window...

How conveniently he disregards his nickname pvondy85 and reinvents himself a new alias Enerlux. Same message different brand.

Let us look at his list of top brands: Inline 6th, Accurate & Fibertec 7th and his first love Serious does not make the list. His top window list in his opinion, it isn't rocket science Paul. You think people don't see through your smoke and mirrors.  You are the most untrustworthy person I have ever come across. Your tactics of product bashing, ankle biting, misrepresentation and falsehoods won't help you sell a window. Most normal companies sell by educating on the advantages, we now know your modus operandi.

Again I urge everyone to stay away and do not believe Enerlux, who knows how long he will stay in business.

What happens to the home owner who has a warranty issue with your former suppliers...let me guess.

Paul, this is my opinion based on the facts I have collected on this and other websites.

Let the excuses and lies begin!
