Investing in new windows is a big decision. It’s a large investment, after all. But if your home’s windows are showing signs of age, the cost of replacing them will go a long way for both the efficiency and value of your home.
Here’s how to tell if your windows need replacing:
Uncomfortable Drafts and Poor Efficiency. Drafts may be more evident in the winter when you can feel cold air seeping through; however, drafty windows are also letting heat in during the summer.
Visible Damage. Damage to windows isn’t always as obvious as cracked glass. Check the window frames for signs of water damage, mold, condensation or cracks.
Difficult to Open. Opening your windows shouldn’t be a Herculean task. Levers and cranks should move with ease.
Noise Pollution. Windows can’t provide total silence, but excess noise may be a sign that your windows are lacking insulation.
