When to Consider Replacing Your Windows and Doors
Signs You Need Your Windows Replaced
- Drafts of Cold or Hot Air: Feeling a breeze near your windows? Poor insulation forces your HVAC system to work harder, driving up energy costs. Fixing this improves comfort and saves energy.
- Visible Frame or Sash Damage: Cracks, warping or rotting in window frames not only compromise your home’s security but can also lead to water intrusion, mold growth and even higher energy bills due to poor sealing.
- Persistent Condensation Between Panes: Foggy or misted glass is a telltale sign of failed seals in double or triple-pane windows. This reduces energy efficiency, affects visibility and allows moisture to seep in, which could lead to mold or further window deterioration.
- Difficult Operation (Open, Close or Lock): Windows that are hard to open, close or lock may have warping, rust or mechanical issues, creating security risks and reducing functionality.
- Higher Energy Bills: Rising energy bills often point to windows that can’t keep indoor air in or outdoor air out. This puts extra strain on your HVAC system, making it work harder and costing you more.
Signs You Need Your Doors Replaced
- Drafts Around Closed Doors: Air seeping around your door indicates poor insulation, making it harder to maintain a comfortable temperature and increasing energy costs.
- Warped or Damaged Frame: A damaged frame can create gaps that compromise insulation, increase energy bills and allow pests or moisture to enter your home. Over time, this can lead to water damage, mold growth and structural weakening, all of which can be costly to repair.
- Difficulty Opening or Closing: Doors that stick or don’t close properly may have mechanical problems or warping, affecting security and ease of use.
- Visible Wear and Tear: Dents, scratches or aging materials can signal reduced performance and the need for replacement.
- Inadequate Insulation: Poor insulation allows heat to escape and cool air to leak, leading to higher energy bills and less temperature control
