Signs You Should Replace Your Windows

Your windows are one of the most important components of your home, affecting everything from its energy efficiency and security to its interior and exterior appearance. That’s why, if your windows are severely damaged, it is beneficial to buy new ones before several aspects of your home are negatively impacted. Keep an eye out for these telltale signs that it is time to replace your windows:

• Difficult to operate – If your windows are jamming and sticking and are difficult to open and close, it may be time to replace them. This faulty mode of operation may be because your aging window has developed balance issues, or the formation of rust, rot, or mold may be at play.
• Drafts and poor energy efficiency – Do you feel a draft when you stand next to your windows? Are you constantly adjusting the thermostat to stay comfortable and dealing with sky-high energy costs? Poorly insulated or installed windows may be to blame, in which case it is time to replace them.
• Outdoor noise – Are your windows letting in the sounds of traffic, barking dogs, arguing neighbors, and other unwanted noise? It may be best to replace the windows with ones that have varying glass thickness to help dampen different sounds. Insulating window frames and airtight installation will improve sound resistance as well. 
• Foggy panes – Condensation between the window panes of insulating glass can develop when the seal between the glass fails and allows moisture to leak in. In this case, a replacement is usually best.
