When Is It Time To Replace A Window?

Jay Lubker • June 22, 2021

Your windows are some of the most important features of your home. They can control the air that comes into your home, protect your interior from water damage, and improve the overall appearance of a room. But the real question is: when is it time for a replacement window? The windows in your home won’t last forever. There are obvious signs of when a window needs to be replaced – cracks in the glass, for example – but sometimes the signs may not be so obvious. We highlight the things you need to look out for when it comes to determining whether or not you need to replace your windows.

Your Energy Bill Has Gone Up Significantly

One of the most telling signs that you need to replace a window is actually something you can’t see! Older windows are not as good at insulating your home. This means that you’ll need to use more heating and cooling power to get your home to a desirable temperature. It definitely comes at a cost! If you’ve noticed that your energy bill has spiked in the last few months, it might be time to replace your windows. It could save you a lot of money in the long run!

You Feel A Draft In The Room

Your windows should be able to properly ventilate a room as well as insulate it. When you enter a room, you shouldn’t feel any breezes or spots of air that aren’t coming from your vents. If this is a problem that you’ve experienced recently, it could be a telling sign that it’s time to replace your windows. The newer your windows are, the less of a problem that they’ll have keeping the outside air where it belongs – outside!

You Have Difficulty Opening, Closing and Locking Them

Three of the most basic functions that a window should be able to perform is the ability to open them, close them, and lock them for added security. This isn’t a process that you should have to force. Doing these things should require minimal effort! If you’re finding that you need to use more of your strength to open and close windows, it might be time to replace them. The inability to lock your windows will significantly harm your home’s security. If you’ve experienced this problem, don’t hesitate to use window replacement services!
