When windows fail, changes occur gradually, and it can be easy to miss them. These are some signs that your windows need to be replaced. If you find that it’s time for new windows, vinyl is an excellent option.
Signs You Need Vinyl Replacement Windows
Homeowners often notice that their utility bills are going up, but they can’t figure out why. The windows are often the reason. When windows get damaged or worn out from years of use, they become less efficient. They can allow warm air to escape from the house and cold air to get in during the winter. In the summer, hot air can leak in through small gaps and cracks while cooled air escapes. That can lead to higher utility bills.
Sometimes it’s obvious that windows aren’t doing a good job at preventing air transfer. If you sit or walk by a window in the winter and immediately feel colder, or if you notice that the temperature in a particular room is significantly hotter or colder than the temperature in the rest of the house, those are good signs that your windows are failing and need to be replaced.
Condensation is another tipoff that you may need new windows. When you see condensation on glass and you can’t wipe it away, that means the moisture is in between the panes of glass. That indicates that the seals have failed and it’s time to replace the windows.
Reasons to Install Vinyl Replacement Windows
You have several options when it comes to window materials. Vinyl is a popular choice because it’s energy-efficient, easy to maintain, affordable, and attractive. You can choose from a wide array of window types with vinyl frames, including double-hung, casement, bay, bow, and picture windows.
Installing vinyl windows may lead to a significant drop in your utility bills. The amount you save in energy costs can quickly cover the cost of the windows. You’ll continue to enjoy monthly savings for years to come.
