HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOU SHOULD REPLACE YOUR WINDOWS

As a homeowner, it’s important to stay on top of maintenance. By making sure your windows are in good condition, you can protect your home and keep your utility bills down. Here are some of the signs that you should replace your windows.

YOU’RE REMODELING YOUR HOME

Windows are a key component to a beautiful design. If you are planning to remodel your home, you should consider replacing your windows as well. New window designs can make your home look better while saving you money in the long term, since you won’t have to replace your windows for many years.

THEY’RE PAST THEIR LIFE EXPECTANCY

Did you know that windows have a life expectancy? Just like every other element of your home, windows don’t last forever. One of the signs that you should replace your windows is that they are over twenty years old. Most windows need replacing around the twenty-year mark, although some will need replacing even sooner.

YOUR UTILITY BILLS HAVE SKYROCKETED

If your utility bills have suddenly gone up, it may be time to call a window replacement company. Your windows are one of the key elements in your home’s energy efficiency. If they are no longer in good condition, your home will be less energy efficient and it will cost more to heat or cool your home.

THE EXTERIOR LOOKS DAMAGED OR WORN OUT

Windows are one of the first things that are targeted by potential thieves. If your windows look worn out on the exterior, your house may be more likely to be targeted. Additionally, if your windows are worn out or damaged, you are more susceptible to damage from weather conditions.

CONDENSATION IS TRAPPED BETWEEN WINDOW PANES

Do you notice that condensation appears between your window panes? Condensation is one of the signs that you should replace your windows because this indicates that there is some sort of damage to the windowpane or frame, which allows moisture to enter.

YOUR WINDOWS KEEP GETTING STUCK

Not only is it frustrating when your windows get stuck every time you try to open or close them, but it’s also a sign that you need to call a window replacement company. Windows getting stuck indicates that there has been damage to the frame of your window.

YOU’VE NOTICED AIR GETTING IN

Do you notice that your windows have begun to let drafts of air into the rooms of your house? Windows will never let air in if they are sealed properly. Drafty windows suggest that there is damage to the frame or panes of glass.
