Is It Time to Replace Your Windows?
Is It Time to Replace Your Windows?
Whether you’re thinking of resale or simply want to enjoy your home, new windows are a very smart investment. New energy efficient windows can give your home a fresh, new look, lower your energy bills and increase the value of your home. According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2019 “Cost vs. Value” Report, when you replace old windows with new energy efficient windows, you can expect to recoup approximately 70% of your costs.
So when should you think about replacing your windows? If you are experiencing any of the following issues, it’s time to seriously consider new windows.
Leaky Windows
It’s raining. Your windows are shut tight yet there’s water around the windows. Leaking windows can cause considerable damage to your home, including mold and wood rot. When windows leak, replacement is usually the best choice.
Single-Paned Windows
Do you have an older home? You might have single-paned windows. Unlike new energy-efficient windows, single-pane windows offer no insulation, so when you pay your energy bill your money is literally going out the window.
High Energy Bills
Are your energy bills higher than they used to be? Single-paned windows and windows that are malfunctioning and are not airtight will make your heating and cooling systems work much harder. That means higher energy bills and a home that is uncomfortable year-round.
Mold and Decay
Windows are constantly exposed to moisture. If you see signs of wood rot, decay or mold on windowsills and frames, your windows need to be replaced.
Drafts
If you stand near your windows on a winter day, do you hear a whistling sound as the air makes its way around the frame? Can you feel cold air in leaking in? That cold air won’t just give you a chill; it will also cost you money.
Broken Seals
Double-paned windows can deteriorate over time. If you notice moisture build up on the inside of the exterior pane of glass, that’s an indication that the seal between the panes has cracked and is no longer airtight.
Weeping Windows
Have you noticed constant condensation or frost on your windows? That’s another sign that your windows are not functioning properly.
Exterior Damage
Windows take a beating from the elements. If you see signs of exterior damage such as water damage, warping or cracked glass, those windows need to be replaced.
Hard to Open and Close
Struggling to open and close your windows? Today’s windows are designed to open effortlessly, while locking securely – important safety features to keep in mind and powerful reasons to consider replacing your windows.
Outside Noise
The neighbor’s dog’s endless barking, the early morning lawnmower, busy traffic. Outside noise is not welcome inside our homes. While inefficient windows do a poor job at blocking noise, today’s high-performance windows are designed to give you the peace and quiet you deserve.
