Most home windows can last for many years of trouble-free service if they are well-maintained, but eventually all windows seem to start to show signs of wear and tear. Some older windows may become difficult to operate, while other windows simply start to look shabby and unattractive and cannot be restored to their former glory.
As a homeowner, it can be tough to decide whether it’s time to replace your windows or just get them repaired. Window replacement is a big investment that can improve the value of your house, while window repair is a way to put off the expense of replacement and keep your windows functioning for just a little while longer. This article can help you decide which option is right for your home now.
The primary benefit of repairing windows is to save money. This is a good option if your windows only need minor repairs. Repair may also be a good option if you don’t have the budget to replace your windows. Making repairs can buy you time to save up for full window replacement.
It’s important to remember that repairing windows that are energy inefficient can cost money in many ways, which can make saving harder. Not only do inefficient windows cost you more every month in higher utility bills, these windows can put a burden on your home’s heating and air conditioning system, causing it to run longer and work harder than it would with more energy-efficient windows. If you can’t or don’t plan to replace your inefficient windows, one way to help reduce costly energy losses is to install new weatherstripping around your windows.
One thing to remember is that repairing windows only makes sense if the repair costs are relatively affordable. Very old windows that have not been properly maintained may need many repairs to remain functional, which could take money from other important home upgrades.
