A sealed unit is a specification, not a commodity. Cavity width, gas fill, spacer material, coating position and the glass make-up itself all move the thermal and solar numbers independently of each other.

Solar control is the trade-off worth thinking about. A coating that keeps a south-facing room comfortable in August also reduces useful free heat in February, so the right answer depends on the room, not on the datasheet.

It is the cheapest moment to do it, because the access and labour are already being paid for. The only additional cost is the difference in the unit itself.

Warm-edge spacers replace the old aluminium bar with a low-conductivity composite, which raises the temperature of the glass edge and reduces the cold band where condensation forms first. Soft-coat low-emissivity layers reflect long-wave heat back into the room without dimming daylight noticeably.
