Should I Replace My Windows?
You can save a lot of money on energy bills and costly repairs if you replace your windows before it’s too late. Here are some signs to look for that might tell you it’s time for an upgrade:
Air Leaks & Drafts: Can you feel a chill? If you’re getting cool air through your window, it is failing. Drafts and leaks can lead to increased heating and cooling costs.
Condensation Between Window Panes: If there’s fogginess or water clinging to the inside of your window that means the sealant between the panes has failed. This means not only will it collect condensation, but the gas that acts as an insulation is gone. This can greatly affect heating and cooling costs and obstruct your view.
Difficulty Functioning: If your window is supposed to open and close and doesn’t operate how it should, this can not only be a nuisance but a security risk. For ease of use and peace of mind, it might be time to upgrade.
Damage: Cracked? Chipped? Rotting? These can all be signs that your window is at the end of it’s life. This kind of damage can lead to inefficiency and increased maintenance issues.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it might be time to consider new windows. Upgrading can enhance your homes comfort, efficiency and overall value.
