Now that it’s already winter, are your windows ready for the coming cold months? If not, here are some quick and easy tips prepared by Renewal by Andersen® of Long Island, the top provider of replacement windows in Massapequa and the surrounding areas:
- Window Age. As with everything else, windows have a life span that depends on the materials used for the frames. With proper maintenance, windows can last up to 50 years. If your windows are older, then it’s probably time you get them replaced.
- Drafts. If you feel a cold breeze around your house even when your windows are closed, your windows might need to be weather-stripped. A small gap in your window can cause drafts and can significantly affect your energy use.
- Condensation. Run your hands down your window panes and see if it’s moist, especially in the morning. This means your windows are losing energy because the heat from your home’s interiors are escaping through your windows.
- Operation. If you need a bit of force to open or close your windows, then you might need to get new ones already. Worn-out windows are hard to operate and can cause security problems.
- Appearance. Take a look at your window and check if it looks worn-out or if cracks, broken glass, or gaps are visible.
