We live in a 30 year old mobile home and have thought about replacing windows, putting better insulation in the space between our ceiling and roof, a new roof. But it's a 30 year old mobile home. Thankfully our electric bill only gets to about $200 and change in the 2 months of dead summer heat in south central NC. We have Duke Energy.

Interesting, didn't know this. However, we had our windows custom measured because the home is old enough that on-the-shelf windows at big box stores don't fit anymore. So, in essence, they were 'custom' windows. Unless mobile homes have way more windows than I remember, i don't see how a 30k quote is reasonable. oh well....

I think it depends on how old it is and what is around the windows. There may or may not framing. The width is also a problem, so it's basically having to custom build the windows or reframe them so the extra width is contained.

30,000 seems like a lot though but it can be 10,000 for a house with standard window sizing.
