When to Replace Your Windows -

Included below are some factors to consider if you’re looking to replace your windows.

Poor performance -
Opening and closing is a difficult task; air leaks in, out or around the window; condensation or fogging occurs on or between glass panes.

Safety -
Windows that don’t open easily or are painted or nailed shut may prevent a safe escape during a fire when seconds count.

Looks -
Chipping, deterioration, and water stains on the window or the area around the window (inside or out).

Effort -

Tilts in for Easy Cleaning

Cleaning is a major hassle; replacement parts are hard to find or even non-existent.

Improve the Energy Efficiency of Your Home -

Keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter by opting for Low-E (low-emissivity) glass coatings. Low-E helps reduce heat transfer and ultraviolet (UV) rays that can fade carpets, walls and furniture. You also can reduce heating and cooling costs by replacing old single-pane windows with today’s energy-efficient double- or triple-pane windows. Select windows and doors that have earned the ENERGY STAR® distinction to ensure you are maximizing potential savings to your heating and cooling costs.

In summer the Low E coating keeps damaging UV rays out.		In winter the Low E coating keeps your home warmer.

Other Considerations -

To keep the exterior appearance consistent, consider replacing all the windows on one side (or one level if it’s a two-story house) at the same time.

If you’re replacing siding, replace windows before the siding, so that siding can be fit to the new windows, for a neater appearance and better overall energy efficiency.

If your window frames are in excellent condition, the easiest way to replace is to remove old sashes and put a replacement window into the old frame. This allows the existing trim to remain in place. If frames are worn or damaged, replace the entire window unit.
