        "text": "Sash cord repair typically applies to older, double-hung windows that use a system of ropes (sash cords) and counterweights to hold the sash in place. When a cord breaks, the sash can no longer stay open on its own. Sash balance repair, conversely, refers to fixing or replacing spring-loaded or coil balances found in more modern double-hung windows. These balances perform the same function as cords and weights—counterbalancing the sash—but operate using a spring mechanism. Both repairs aim to restore smooth, effortless window operation.",
