Q: I live in Southern California, and my wife and I like to open windows a lot to get fresh air in to the house. We have to manually open and close these windows every time.

I would love to have a system that opens and closes the windows with a switch. Are there any motorized windows systems in existance that can operate like regular up / down windows, and if not what options for motorized windows do I have? - Ian, San Clemente, CA
