Have you noticed drafts, rotting wood, or foggy glass in your home’s windows? In our experience, if your windows are more than 10 to 15 years old, it may be time for an upgrade. Here are some reasons to replace your outdated and inefficient windows.
1. Improved Energy Efficiency
One of the biggest perks of installing a replacement window or windows is better energy efficiency. According to Energy.gov, heat gain and heat loss through your windows result in 25% to 30% of residential heating and cooling energy use. Now that you know this, imagine how much you could lower your energy bills with new windows. Today’s replacement window frames and glass provide excellent insulation. High-performance window materials make a huge difference in energy savings.
2. Increased Comfort
Old windows with faulty seals and poor insulation make it hard to get comfortable. Drafts, humidity, and temperature fluctuations are common problems. Replacement windows seal out drafts, providing better temperature and humidity control inside your home. You won’t have to shiver next to cold window panes or rely on space heaters to stay warm! Modern window technology improves home comfort year-round.
3. Reduced Outside Noise
Do you live on a busy road or near a railroad? Noisy surroundings can make it hard to relax at home. The multiple panes and advanced glazing materials in replacement windows can help protect you from noise pollution. Your home will become a peaceful sanctuary once those sounds are blocked out. You’ll finally be able to relax in a quiet space after a long and busy day!
4. Heightened Aesthetic Appeal
Over time, old windows become an eyesore with flaking paint, warped panes, and rotting frames. Replacement windows provide the opportunity to update the look of your home. While functionality is important, aesthetic appeal matters as well. New windows also allow more natural light into your home, and this makes rooms feel more open and inviting. Choose windows that complement your home’s style.
