When Do You Need To Replace Your Windows?

The window: a glorious glass frame to let a home’s inhabitants soak up the sunlight and gaze upon the outside world. Even though you peer out windows, you may overlook their maintenance and lifespan. However, when you ignore signs prompting replacement, a myriad of other issues might occur.

Let’s look at some signs for window replacement!

Your House is Drafty

Over time, a window’s frame begins to warp and bend, creating a space for air to sneak in. If you feel a gentle current of air flowing near your windows, it could indicate that your windows need replacement.

Too Much Noise

Believe it or not, windows can play their role in the soundproofing part of your home. However, your windows may not meet the neighborhood's standards now. If too much sound leaks through your home from the outside world and you prefer a little more peace and quiet, window replacement may be the only way!

Spiking Energy Bill

A constantly rising energy bill is one of the biggest reasons to get window replacements. With windows being literal holes in your home, a weak glass pane or a worn frame can be a sieve for outside air leaking through.

When outside air finds its way into your home, your thermostat runs the HVAC system harder to compensate. As a result, your biller increases monthly as your heating and cooling have trouble keeping up.

Installing windows that are not only air-tight but offer a UV shield to bounce the sun’s heat away will chop down that energy bill greatly.

Visible Damage

Any visible damage inflicted on your windows is a sure sign you may need to get them replaced. One telltale sign is condensation buildup on the window pane. Condensation happens when your window pane isn’t strong enough to hold off the outside air. Additionally, another suspect to window condensation is a weak frame.

Condensation builds up as a result of extreme temperatures, like a hot or cold day, quickly mixing with the temperature in your home. This mix of two temperatures creates a layer of moisture on the window’s glass.

Condensation is a clear indicator of window damage and should be replaced as soon as you can.
