Winter in the Indianapolis area can be downright brutal, between the freezing temperatures and blowing snow. Because of this harsh weather, many homeowners assume that if they want their windows replaced, they need to put the project off until spring. But this is not the case at all!
Renewal by Andersen is willing and able to install replacement windows in your Indianapolis home during the winter months. We use special installation techniques to ensure top-quality work in spite of the lackluster weather.
The main challenge of replacing windows in the winter is doing so without letting too much cold air into the home. To address this challenge, your installation team will work on one window at a time. They’ll try to get the old window out and the new one into place as quickly as possible to reduce the amount of chilly air that blows inside. This technique might take a bit longer, but it does allow the technicians to really focus on one window at a time and do the best job possible on each installation.
Another winter installation technique is to position several installation technicians outside the window and others inside the window. The two teams of techs work in tandem to get the window into place quickly. Once the window is actually set in place, most of the airflow is blocked while the window installation professionals work to make small adjustments.
Of course, an important aspect of winter installation is flexibility in scheduling. When you schedule the installation of your replacement windows, we advise you that we may have to reschedule in the case of bad weather. If a serious snowstorm blows in, this is not the time to tackle a window replacement project. But don’t worry, snow accumulation on the ground, low temperatures, and mild winds won’t curtail a scheduled installation.
There are several reasons why having the windows in your Indianapolis home replaced in the winter is actually a better option than waiting until spring.
First of all, winter is the season when having new, well-sealed, energy-efficient windows is the most important. Why wait all winter with leaky, drafty old windows when you could have them replaced now and enjoy well-insulated, attractive new windows for the remaining winter months? Your energy bills for the remaining months will go down, and you won’t have to bundle up to fend off the drafts.
Secondly, you’ll have an easier time scheduling a window installation in the winter. Not everyone knows we replace window year-round. You’ll have your choice of days and may not have to wait as long to have your project completed.
You probably have less going on in the winter. Once the holidays are over, winter tends to be a slower time in Indianapolis since the weather is so chilly. Why not get your window replacement taken care of now so you can enjoy the summer relaxing outside and spending time with friends?
If you’ve been thinking of having replacement windows installed on your Indianapolis home, there’s no need to wait until spring.
