To Replace or Not to Replace Windows, That is the Question

Are you considering replacing your windows, but aren’t sure if it’s really necessary? Knowing if it’s already the right time to replace your old windows isn’t easy. In some cases, maybe repairs will suffice for the time being, but if you’re already starting to experience problems like increased power consumption or issues with the overall structure of your windows (e.g. rotting frames, cracked or broken glass, etc.) then it’s time to start replacing your windows. Here are a few more signs that can help make the choice of replacement clear:

• You can feel a draft even when the windows are closed. This could indicate that the weather-stripping of your windows has been damaged.
• You’re having a hard time opening or closing your windows. This could be caused by rotted or rusted frames.
• Your windows are getting fogged with condensation. This could be a sign of the insulated air within double/triple pane windows isn’t working anymore or that the seal of the window has already failed.
• Excessive noise from the outside penetrates your home with windows closed.
• Furniture, carpets, paintings, and other home fixtures are starting to fade away. This could mean that your windows aren’t effective at keeping UV radiation out.
