Current economic conditions have resulted in people loosing jobs, or working for less. Meanwhile, bills still need to be paid and inflation consumes whatever discretionary income remains. The lost revenue must be made up somewhere. One possibility is to start a sash window repair company for a true recession proof career.

The bursting of the housing bubble, increasing government spending, bailouts of companies, these have been the headlines the past few years. Companies going out of business, downsizing, or decreasing pay scales, this is what many employees have experienced. Some have found security and enjoyment in their work, through leaving the rat race and starting their own business.

The key is to find a niche in your community, become a specialist or expert at something people need, no matter the times. Sash windows is such a niche.

These many not be installed often lately, but they are found in older homes. They are those old fashioned two panels composed of glass panes that slide upward or downward in grooves in the side jambs. Some people have no idea how they are supposed to work since they have never seen a properly functioning one.

By opening the top panel downward and the bottom one upward, hot air rising near the ceiling will force it’s way out the top, sucking cooler, fresh outside air in through the bottom opening. This system, designed in the mid 1600s, still provides superior air circulation, without using mechanical devices.

Several problems can arise over time with the system mechanisms. If they are not corrected the system cannot work as intended. Weights hanging inside the frame balance the weight of the panel. If the chains or cords they are suspended from are frayed or broken, the pulleys they run over will not turn, or compression weatherstripping no longer does it’s job, panels will not stay where desired, and is often nailed or propped.

When the frame’s wood is no longer of it’s original shape and form, it will stop sliding. Wind can then enter the house through cracks or gaps.

The existence of these units, and their potential for defects and malfunctioning, creates a demand for services which has not been met in the past. By providing this valuable service a good income can be realized. The customer can be spared the unnecessary cost of unnecessary energy expenditures.
