- Drafts or Air Leaks
If you feel air coming through the window frame even when it’s closed, your windows are no longer energy efficient and may need to be replaced.
- Difficulty Opening or Closing
Windows that stick, are hard to open/close, or won’t stay open indicate balance issues, warping, or swelling.
- Condensation Between Glass Panes
Moisture between panes means the seal has failed. This reduces insulation and usually can’t be repaired.
- Rising Energy Bills
Old or poorly sealed windows can let heat out in winter and let it in during summer, increasing heating and cooling costs.
- Visible Damage or Decay
Cracked glass, rotting frames, mold, or warping are signs that your windows are deteriorating and may no longer be secure or functional.
- Outside Noise Is Loud Inside
Excessive noise from traffic or neighbors can mean your windows lack proper insulation or soundproofing.
- Outdated Appearance
If your windows look outdated or clash with your home’s style, modern replacements can improve both aesthetics and resale value.
- Poor Curb Appeal
Windows contribute significantly to your home’s exterior. Faded, cracked, or mismatched windows hurt your home’s appearance.
- Faded Furniture or Flooring
UV rays passing through older windows can damage furniture, carpets, and hardwood floors. New windows often offer UV protection.
- Single Pane Glass
Most modern windows are at least double-pane. If you still have single-pane windows, you’re missing out on better insulation and efficiency.
