What Are Some Signs That My Windows Need to Be Replaced?

• You see an increase in your energy bills
• You have wooden window frames that constantly require maintenance
• You have windows that don’t slide up and down anymore 
• Your windows have broken or cracked glass
• You see condensation between the panes of glass
• Air leaking into your home in and around your window
• Visible signs of aging or poor installation
  

If you decide to invest in new windows, you’ll benefit in several ways:

• Lower energy bills
• Improved ease of use
• Effortless cleaning
• Little or no maintenance (depending on the frame material)
• Enhanced curb appeal
• Increased resale value 
  

Replacement windows can be installed year-round, outside of extreme weather such as precipitation or very high winds. Effective, energy-efficient windows can help you save on energy costs year-round, so it does not matter what time of year you replace your windows.

Installing high-quality, energy-efficient windows will offer you savings on your monthly energy bills by significantly lowering your home’s energy consumption. These energy savings over time will allow you to recoup your window investment, while also offering an increased value to your home.

When it comes to condensation, there are 2 types - interior and exterior. Exterior condensation often occurs during warmer months while interior condensation occurs in the colder months. Interior condensation is most often caused by extreme cold outside and excess moisture present inside the home. There are measures that can be taken to reduce interior condensation.

This measures the rate of heat loss and how well a product insulates. The lower the number, the better a product is at keeping heat inside a building. The U factor is key in the winter months, and important to consider when choosing a window.

Low-E, meaning "low emissivity," is a thin layer of metallic coating applied to the glass that, in simple terms, allows the glass to act like a sieve. It allows the surface of the glass to reflect or absorb the sun’s warmth and reduce damaging UV rays.

This measures how well a product blocks heat from the sun. The lower the number the better.
