If you have noticed that your current windows are drafty or looking worn down, scheduling a window replacement will resolve your troubles. Certain seasons offer better conditions to ensure a successful, long-lasting upgrade. Below is a brief guide for when to call for new windows.

When Should You Schedule for Window Replacements?

Warm Weather Benefits

Spring, early summer, and even early fall when temperatures are still moderate offer ideal conditions for a window replacement. These seasons are popular with homeowners for a reason, mainly because cold winter air will not filter inside your home as your technicians work. This keeps inside temperatures comfortable until your new windows are in place.

Some people are concerned that a window replacement during the summer will make their home hot and humid as the technicians work. In reality, window installers can work quickly and efficiently, limiting your home’s exposure. That’s because caulk—which is needed to seal your windows—sets more easily in warm weather. Setting caulk in the cold leads to cracking. Because of this, a window replacement in cold temperatures adds the extra step of warming the caulk before adhering it. 

Reasons to Replace Old Windows

Scheduling a window replacement is an important step, especially if your old windows are broken or drafty. Because of gaps and holes, your heating and cooling equipment will work overtime to maintain inside temperatures, creating excess wear and tear on components and raising utility bills to keep up with the fluctuations.

Old windows are also more likely to let in other trouble. If precipitation gets inside, water damage can be devastating to personal property and can also lead to dangerous mold growth. Critters will also infest your home. Besides insects and spiders, mice can squeeze through the tiniest of spaces.
