As temperatures drop, drafty windows become hard to ignore. Cold air leaking in and warm air leaking out make your heating system work harder and can make parts of your home uncomfortable all winter.
Signs Your Windows Need Attention
- Drafts: You can feel cold air near the frame or sash, even when the window is closed.
- Condensation between panes: Moisture trapped inside a double-pane unit usually means the seal has failed.
- Difficulty opening or closing: Warped frames or worn hardware are a sign of age.
- Rot or damage around the frame: Soft or discolored wood, or cracked sealant, lets water into the wall.
- Higher heating bills: If your costs rise while your habits stay the same, air leaks may be part of the reason.
Repair or Replace?
Sometimes new weatherstripping or fresh sealant is enough. If the frames are damaged, the glass seals have failed, or the windows are very old, replacement is usually the better long-term choice.
Why Do It Before Winter
Window replacement is easier to schedule and complete before the coldest weather arrives, and you get the comfort benefits for the whole season.
