Window repair services are often a more cost-effective solution for windows with minor cosmetic damage. However, some window issues are too big to handle with a simple repair. Repairing your window may cause structural issues that affect the window’s security or integrity, requiring future repairs or window replacement. Our team of home improvement professionals can assess your windows and determine if it would be safer and more cost-effective to choose window repair or window replacement. We might suggest window repair services if you have broken glass, a stuck window sash, a damaged window casing, or minor water leaks. We suggest new window installation if you have double-pane windows, foggy windows, extreme condensation, major water leaks or damage, or structural issues.
Signs You Need New Window Installation
Replacing the windows in your home will give you peace of mind and increase your home’s security and comfort. If you notice any of these signs you need new window installation, call our home service professionals for a consultation:
- Frequent drafts or cold or warm spots in certain areas of your home
- Condensation inside your windows
- Mold or mildew on or around your windows
- Broken window glass
- Severely damaged window frames or sashes
- Dry rot, water damage, or insect damage to the windows
- Your energy bills are increasing without an apparent reason
- The windows are stuck in one position or hard to open or close
- The windowpanes are foggy
- The windows aren’t level
- The window style or design is outdated
- The windows were poorly or improperly installed
- The windows are made from poor-quality materials
Benefits of Installing Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-efficient windows are measured by their Solar Heat Gain Coefficient and U-Factor. The U-Factor measures the insulating power of the window, and the lower the number, the better the window insulates. The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient measures how much of the sun’s heat comes through the window. The lower the number, the less solar heat the window allows in. Double and triple-paned windows are more energy-efficient, as are certain window frame materials that are more insulating, like vinyl. The biggest benefits of installing energy-efficient windows are:
- Replacing old windows with new, energy-efficient windows can save you 8-31% on your annual energy bill, depending on the climate in your area.
- Energy-efficient windows keep your home at a more comfortable temperature year-round.
- Significantly reduce your carbon footprint by 200-6,205 pounds of CO2 per year, equivalent to 13-317 gallons of gasoline.
- Get added protection from winter chills and summer heat.
