Windows perform many important functions. They protect your home’s interior from the weather and improve your energy efficiency. If you are having any of the following problems with your windows, it is probably time to consider replacing them.
Condensation on the inside of your windows is never a good sign and usually indicates a seal failure. The solution? Replace the window.
If your windows no longer function as they should – and you’re having a hard time opening and closing them – it’s also likely time to replace them.
Is your home drafty? Do you notice uneven temperatures from room to room? Air leaks around windows are common and can cost a homeowner as much as 25% extra in heating and cooling costs annually. If your energy bills keep getting higher and higher, your windows may be at least partially to blame.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s probably time to consider replacing your windows with newer, more energy-efficient ones.
