A Guide to Replacing Your Windows

Are My Windows Too Old?

Old windows will often grow more difficult to open or close. You might also notice that they just don’t look as good as you want them to. Old windows can date your home and impact its curb appeal. If you feel like they don’t suit the look you’re going for, it’s time to replace them. Another issue that impacts older windows is condensation. If you notice condensation in the window the seals are probably no longer in place and moisture has made its way in.

Why Am I Getting a Draft?

A draft often means your windows are worn out or possibly warped and air is escaping your home. If this is happening, your windows are not as energy-efficient as they should be. If you see a spike in your heating or cooling bills, those drafty windows may be to blame. The newer, more efficient windows have double-pane glass and can help deflect UV rays. These features will reduce your energy bills and keep your home at a comfortable temperature year-round.

If you notice any of these window issues, it’s time to get them replaced. Call the professionals at Affordable Window & Glass at (859) 282-7787 and make an appointment today. For more on all services, including glass repair or door installation, visit them online.
