In these cost-conscious days, no matter what purchase you’re thinking of making, be it large-scale or small, you first need to decide if you really need it or can live without it. Considering a new set of replacement windows from Renewal by Andersen of Central New Jersey? In today’s post we’re going to talk about how to tell when it’s time to say goodbye to your old windows and give some serious thought to replacement windows.
As windows serve many functions within a home, there are an equal number of indicators that they aren’t performing at their best. One of your windows’ primary responsibilities is to maintain the temperature of your home, regardless of the weather outside— but they can only do that if they are energy efficient. When they aren’t, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that those energy inefficient windows are responsible for up to 25 percent of your energy bills. You’re not only losing money, but you’re living in a less comfortable home.
If you’re still snuggled up under a couple of blankets even with the heat on or sweating with the air conditioner on high, your heating and cooling budget may be going right out the window. Replacement windows can help lower those energy bills, as well as increase your comfort at home.
Another factor to consider when looking into replacement windows is the condition of your current ones. If they’re looking beat-up and unattractive from inside your home, you can bet that they are negatively affecting the appearance of the outside as well. And while curb appeal and resale value may not always feel like an immediate concern, it’s the kind of thing you don’t want coming back to haunt you later. Renewal by Andersen’s replacement windows will still be looking and operating great well into the future, so now may be the time for an upgrade.
Finally, another good clue that your windows may be due for a replacement lies in difficult operability. If you’re having a hard time getting your windows opened and closed, can’t see through them because of excessive fogging, or scrubbing like crazy only to be left with the same rot and mold you started with, your windows have just about worn out their welcome.
