If there are air leaks in your home because of old and inefficient windows, you should consider replacing them so that your home will be more comfortable during the winter and you can save on your heating bills. “But isn’t it too late for that?,” you may ask. The quick answer is not really. It is possible to have your windows replaced during winter so long as your replacement windows contractor is an expert. An experienced contractor will take measures to ensure that your home will stay protected during the project.
In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of Long Island discusses what you should expect from your contractor while having your windows replaced in winter.
The Process
They will remove and replace one window at a time to minimize cold air entering your home.
They will use plastic floor-to-ceiling barriers when installing windows with large openings like bay or bow windows.
They will keep the doors closed while replacing the windows to limit the amount of cold air entering the home.
They will use sealant materials that are durable and weather-resistant.
The Advantages
You will have better chances of scheduling your window replacement sooner since there are usually relatively fewer customers during this season.
You will likely get a better price. Some companies offer huge discounts during the offseason.
You will get immediate savings on your heating bills as soon as your new windows are installed.
Once the project is finished, you can immediately enjoy a more comfortable home and need not endure drafts during the rest of the winter.
