Should I Replace All My Dayton Windows at the Same Time?

If a couple of the windows in your home are leaking, drafty, or beginning to deteriorate, your best bet is to have them replaced. But what about the other windows? Is it worth replacing them all at the same time? In most cases, the answer is “yes.” Here are a few reasons why it’s a good idea to replace all of the windows in your Dayton home at the same time.

Other Windows Will Start Deteriorating Soon

If a couple of your windows are beginning to deteriorate, you can generally assume the others are not far behind. If you only replace the worn ones right now, you can bet you’ll be calling the window replacement company back in a year or two to replace the others. Why not get it all done at once and save yourself the hassle?

New Windows Are More Efficient

Even if some of your older windows are still in good shape, new ones will be more efficient. There have been a lot of advancements in window technology over the last several decades. Examples include:

• Low-E glass, like SmartSun™ glass from Renewal by Andersen, which reflects heat waves to reduce energy loss through the windows
• Better-quality window materials, like Fibrex®, which do a great job of insulating and are resistant to warping and leaks
• Double and triple-pane glass, which trap heat inside thanks to a layer of air or argon glass between the window panes

While you will save some money on energy by replacing only the most worn, drafty windows in your home, you will save even more if you replace all of the windows.

Matching Windows Increase the Value of Your Home

While your new windows can be customized to match the existing windows on your home, most Dayton home owners find that they want to upgrade their window style with something a little fresher and more modern. Maybe you’ve always wanted forest green window frames, or perhaps you want to add grilles to your window faces for a more rustic look. Making this change is easier when you replace all of the windows at once. And your modern, matching windows will increase the value of your home. Even if you don’t plan on selling your home anytime soon, this could help you build equity in your home for when you eventually do sell.

New Windows Come With a Warranty

If you only replace a few of your windows, the old ones will still be liable to start leaking or otherwise deteriorating. You may find yourself in a constant battle of trying to identify and repair failing windows. If you replace all of your windows, on the other hand, every window on your home will be protected by a warranty. Chances are, you won’t have any trouble at all with your new windows, but if you do, at least the repair or replacement costs will be covered.

Renewal by Andersen offers one of the best warranties in the industry, with 20 years on glass, 10 years on installation, and 10 years on components other than glass.
