Knowing When It’s Time to Replace Home Windows

Are the windows on your home getting up there in years? Maybe they’re the original windows your home was built with, or maybe you’ve recently noticed signs of aging like peeling frames or failing seals. But, exactly what warrants a window replacement, and how do you know when it’s time to replace your home windows?

There are a number of signs that can indicate that it’s time to replace your home windows. These include:

A Worn Appearance

If your windows simply look old and worn, then you may want to replace them purely for the aesthetic benefits. Window frames that are cracked, peeling, or warped may be indicators that it’s time to invest in new windows.

Changing Temperatures Around the Window

Do you feel the heat from outside when you walk by a window? If so, your windows likely aren’t doing a good job insulating your home, and you may want to replace them. Windows that aren’t energy efficient are likely costing you more on your monthly energy bills, so replacing them could be a wise investment to make.

Leaks

If you’ve noticed that your windows leak when it rains, you’ll definitely want to have them replaced as quickly as possible. Leaky windows can cause expensive water damage to your home’s foundation as well as any items by the window that may get wet when it rains.
