Do you live in a building that’s more than a few years old? Its windows have been working hard to protect you from the elements and to keep you comfortable and safe indoors. While windows can often go quite a while without being replaced—except, of course, when one gets shattered or otherwise damaged—there will come a point when they need to be upgraded. But window replacement can be a big expense, especially when you decide to do the whole house. How do you know when this task has become essential?
Here are a few signs that it’s time to install replacement windows:
- Visible condensation between panes of insulated glass
- Windows are unable to open or close easily
- Panes or frames rattle when the wind blows
- You can feel a draft when windows are closed
Another big reason you might wish to install replacement windows: your home isn’t as energy efficient as you would like it to be. Window technology has advanced to a point where you can enjoy a safer and more pleasant indoor environment and lower your heating and cooling bills simply by upgrading your windows.
