Windows are typically an overlooked feature that homeowners. A modern set of windows will help your property perform and look its best. Eventually, all windows lose their efficiency and value.
When windows lose their effectiveness, it can cause rising energy bills and uncomfortable temperatures. This article will cover the top three signs that you need to replace your windows soon.
Drafts and Temperature Fluctuations
If you feel a breeze during the winter or warmth during the summer around your windows, the window's sealing might be failing. A properly sealed window will prevent air from leaking in and out of the home.
Additionally, when you have failing window seals, the HVAC system will need to work harder to maintain temperatures. The increased demand for heating and cooling can cause a significant increase in your utility bill costs.
Difficult Operation
Windows should be easy to operate and open or close with minimal effort. When you need to use force to operate your windows, this is a sign that the mechanisms are not functioning properly.
Some of the most common reasons for a window having difficulty operating are:
- Warped Window Frames
- Rusted Hinges
- Moisture-Damaged Frame
When windows reach this stage, a repair will typically not be sufficient as a long-term solution. A window replacement will ensure that the window's mechanisms are working smoothly.
Visible Window Damage
One of the most obvious signs that you need a window replacement is visible damage to your property's windows. Whether it's peeling paint or rusted metal, you will be able to tell your windows are starting to wear down.
When the damage is visible, it can impact more than the curb appeal of your property. Damaged windows can lead to structural decay and water intrusion, which can cause widespread damage.
