ECO Window Systems Window Replacement: The Hollywood Owner’s Guide

If you have an ECO Window Systems window that’s fogged, binding, or leaking air, we can replace it. In Hollywood, a full ECO Window Systems window replacement typically runs $450 to $950 installed for a standard single or double hung unit, depending on size and whether impact glass is required. Most replacements are completed same-day once we’ve measured the opening and confirmed the frame condition.

What usually brings Hollywood homeowners to this page is a window that stopped doing its job quietly. You notice condensation between the panes that won’t wipe off. The sash takes two hands to lift in July. A draft finds your neck when you sit near the east wall. Sometimes the frame itself shows signs of rot at the bottom corners where afternoon thunderstorms have been feeding moisture for years. You have lived in this house long enough to know the difference between a window that needs adjusting and a window that needs replacing.

Which ECO Window Systems Models This Applies To

ECO Window Systems has produced several series over the years, and the replacement approach differs by model. The most common units we see in Hollywood are the ECO 5000 and ECO 7000 series single hungs and horizontal sliders, along with older fixed picture windows from the early 2000s. Each series uses slightly different frame depths and glass package specs, so identifying your exact model before ordering the replacement matters more than most homeowners expect.

Look for a small sticker on the top edge of the sash or the inside of the frame channel. ECO typically printed the series number there, along with the manufacturing date and glass performance codes. If the sticker has faded or been painted over, we measure the frame depth, the glass thickness, and the sash profile to match the replacement. In Hollywood’s climate, we also check whether the original unit had impact-rated glass. Some ECO windows installed before the 2002 Florida Building Code update were not impact-rated, and if that’s the case, the replacement should be upgraded to meet current wind load requirements for Broward County. We keep common ECO sash balances, tilt latches, and weatherstripping on the truck, but full replacement glass and frames are ordered to the measured spec.

On the OEM versus aftermarket question: ECO Window Systems no longer manufactures under that name in the volume they once did, so OEM parts availability is spotty. We use OEM glass packs when we can source them cleanly. When we can’t, we substitute a quality aftermarket equivalent that matches the original visible light transmittance and insulation rating. Either way, we tell you upfront what you’re getting, because you should know exactly what’s going into your wall.

Signs Your ECO Window Systems Window Replacement Is Failing

• Condensation or fog between the glass panes. This means the seal around the insulated glass unit has broken. In Hollywood’s humidity, a broken seal pulls moisture in fast, and once it fogs, the insulating gas is gone and the window’s thermal performance drops permanently.
• The sash is heavy or sticks when you lift it. ECO windows use spring balances and vinyl tracks that wear out. If the balance has failed, the sash weight sits on the track, and that friction destroys the tilt latch and the frame corners over time.
• Visible daylight or a noticeable draft around the frame. The weatherstripping compresses with age and salt air exposure. You feel it first in rooms that face the ocean breeze, usually on the north side of the house in Hollywood’s older neighborhoods.
• Soft wood or crumbling stucco at the bottom corners of the opening. This is a frame problem, not just a glass problem. If the surrounding frame has been taking on water, replacing the window alone won’t solve it. We rebuild the frame pocket first, then set the new unit square.
• The window won’t lock, or the lock catches but leaves a gap. Over time, the frame settles and the sash shifts. If the lock no longer aligns, the unit isn’t sealing, and in a hurricane zone that matters for more than just your electric bill.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

Here’s what you can expect to pay in Hollywood for ECO Window Systems replacement work:

• Single hung or fixed window replacement (standard size, non-impact): $450 to $650 installed
• Single hung or fixed window replacement (impact-rated glass): $650 to $950 installed
• Horizontal slider replacement (non-impact): $550 to $800 installed
• Horizontal slider replacement (impact-rated): $800 to $1,100 installed
• Frame rebuild (rot repair, new sill, re-flashing): $150 to $400 added to the replacement cost, depending on what we find when we open the wall

The range comes down to glass package, size, and what the frame looks like once we’re inside it. We quote the job on paper before we start, with the parts broken out from the labor, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No surprise line items at the end of the day. Every replacement is covered by our Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, no paperwork and no argument. And because we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, you’re not chasing a paperwork ghost if something fails down the line.

DIY or Call Us?

You can do some things yourself. Cleaning the tracks, checking the weep holes at the bottom of the frame for blockages, and confirming whether the sticker on the sash matches what we discussed. Those are reasonable homeowner checks. Replacing a full window unit is not a weekend project, and here’s why: if the rough opening isn’t flashed correctly, water gets into the wall cavity and you won’t see the damage until the drywall starts staining two years later. Hollywood gets nearly 60 inches of rain a year, and a bad flashing job holds that water against the framing. The work also requires lifting glass, working at height on second-story windows, and handling impact-rated units that weigh significantly more than standard glass. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call us at (863) 334-2933 and we’ll measure the opening properly, quote it on paper, and set it square the first time.
