Do you know how old your home’s windows and doors are? If you’re scratching your head trying to remember, you’re not alone! Windows and doors are commonly neglected areas of the home. People assume that if they still open and close, they don’t need to be replaced. That couldn’t be further from the truth! Outdated windows and doors are harmful to your home itself and your bank account. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to replace them, there’s no better time than the present!
A More Efficient Home This Winter
Outdated windows and doors are more likely to be bad at insulating your home. You can check for drafts around your windows and doors by holding a lit candle around the barrier of each one. If the flame flickers, that means air is coming through the window or door. Those drafts are easy to ignore when the weather is nice, but freezing winter temps will create annoying cold drafts. Those drafts will cause your furnace to run more frequently for longer periods to achieve the desired temperature. That means you’ll be spending more every single month just to heat your home!
Easy Scheduling
Window and door replacements are most popular during the spring and summer. Scheduling your replacement during the fall will make for more flexible scheduling and maybe even lower prices! Fall weather is mild enough that your home shouldn’t be uncomfortable during the replacement process, and you’ll be properly protected before winter arrives.
Added Comfort
New windows and doors create a more comfortable home in more ways than one. Physically your home will be more comfortable with cold drafts eliminated. You’ll also be able to relax easier with outside noise being more muffled with new window and door installation. What’s better than a warm, quiet, cozy home in the winter?!
Better Curb Appeal
New windows and doors serve plenty of functional purposes, but they look great too! New window and door installation will instantly improve the curb appeal of your home. You’ll be proud of how it looks, and your neighbors will be jealous! If you ever decide to sell the home, the improved curb appeal will help attract more potential buyers and higher bids. A potential buyer will not only recognize how great the home looks, but they’ll appreciate that new windows and doors aren’t something they’ll have to worry about anytime soon.
