Windows can last for decades when installed and maintained properly. If the ones you have at home are old or not performing as well as it used to, it may be time to have them replaced. Delaying a window replacement can compromise your comfort and increase your energy bills.
Find out how often you should really replace your windows from one of the area’s trusted home exterior companies.
Even the best quality windows will eventually deteriorate and fail. Windows usually last from 15 to 30 years. If you take care of your windows, it can last for more than 20 years. However, once your windows are over two decades old, start considering getting new ones.
Increasing Energy Bills
A common sign that your windows are starting to fail is increasing energy bills. Older windows are more likely to develop leaks, allowing conditioned air to escape and outside air to enter.
Drafts and Discomfort Indoors
Old single-pane windows are prone to creating drafts, but even newer models can develop leaks that can make your living spaces uncomfortable. If some rooms in your home are harder to heat or cool than others, check if your windows have leaks. Old, drafty windows must be replaced as soon as possible.
