What to Expect When Replacing Your Window in Winter

It’s a common misconception among homeowners that it’s impossible to replace windows during winter. Many think that the warm air will escape and cold air will enter, the crew will track in snow and mud, or it’s too cold for window installers to complete the installation process successfully. However, many window professionals would tell you that you can replace your window no matter the season. 

In this article, Renewal by Andersen® of Long Island will discuss the benefits of a window replacement and our installation process during the winter season. 

Benefits of Replacing Your Window

There are many benefits to replacing your window during wintertime. For one thing, it’s easier to schedule a window replacement because it’s not a busy season for installation appointments. You may even find affordable options for replacement windows. Additionally, you will receive an immediate return on your investment. Not only will this reduce your energy costs, but it will also make your house more comfortable and warmer. 

Our Winter Window Installation Process

During the cold season, we understand the importance of professional installation. A great window is only as good as the team of installers behind it. As such, our winter window installation process guarantees to protect your home and heating bill. 

To ensure that your home stays secure, we strictly follow our winter installation process. This includes:

• Closing off each room that is being worked on to minimize heat loss (and to prevent cold air and other outside elements from entering your indoors)
• Working in teams to remove one window at a time and minimize outdoor exposure to your home (each window is typically removed for five minutes or less)
• Covering and protecting floors and furnishings from foot traffic, construction debris, and the winter elements
• Custom-manufacturing each window to 1/8″ of the opening so the installers can add additional installation around the framework once they are in place to help maximize energy efficiency

Your outdated and drafty window can compromise your comfort and well-being during the winter season.
