When it comes time to purchase new windows, homeowners need to decide if they should take on the project all at once or spread it out over time. Listed below are several factors to consider when replacing your windows. After reaching a decision, it is critical to to hire a reputable installer to ensure the integrity of your investment.

Top 5 Reasons for Window Replacement

1. Leaking or accumulating condensation- If one window in your home is failing, it might be worth replacing all of the windows on that side of your house to save on installation charges and to retain a uniform appearance.
2. Structurally compromised- If the sashes or frames of your windows are bowed or sagging, there is undoubtedly energy being lost through the damaged seal. Repairing the voids with caulk or spray foam are just temporary fixes and will not be as airtight as installing a new window.
3. Poor energy efficiency- By replacing single-pane windows with more efficient designs, you can lower your heating bill by 10 to 25 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy!
4. Worn or unattractive- The longevity of different frame materials varies: 15-20 years for aluminum, up to 30 years for wood and a little more for vinyl or fiberglass. If your windows are faded or outdated and past their life expectancy, then it’s time to replace them.
5. Easier to operate and maintain- Reducing frustration caused by windows that are difficult to open or clean is another benefit of replacing old windows with more functional models.
