replacement channel balance

Quick Learner from US
Hello - I am hoping to get some help with replacing my window balances and at least some of the shoes. I am attaching some photos in hopes that you can help us.

The windows are original to the house (1996). We have lived in this house since 2004 and these windows have always been EXTREMELY squeaky putting up or sliding down. And it is every single window. I assume it is the spring that is making all the racket so I don't know if I can go with a different type of balance that might be quieter?

Thanks

Hello,

You could try spraying the balance springs with silicone spray is the nosiness is the only issue. As for replacements, these are older block and tackle balances that are no longer made but our S775 channel balances should work as replacements. You'll just need to measure the length of your balance and the weight of the window sash to choose the correct specifications for your replacement balances. Thank you!
