Your windows provide much-needed natural lighting and architectural beauty for your home, but they don’t last forever. Over time, declining performance, damage, or the introduction of higher-quality materials can make replacing them a smart financial decision. Here’s how to tell that the time has come to replace them.

Key Indicators You Should Replace the Windows

1. Drafts

If you can feel a draft from your windows when they’re shut, they aren’t keeping outside air out of the house efficiently. You may also notice hot or cold spots near the panes. Such leaks will force the HVAC system to work harder to keep the house comfortable as air continually transfers in or out. New windows will lower your utility bills for significant future savings.

2. Excess Noise

Windows should provide decent soundproofing so that ambient outside noise can’t be heard easily from inside. However, windows that aren’t sealed properly or that are made from low-quality materials will easily let noise in by transferring the sound vibrations. The insulating layers in energy-efficient panes will absorb the sound waves so you can have peace and quiet.

3. Damaged Frameswindows

Over time, exterior wooden window frames will deteriorate as they are exposed to the elements. Moisture can cause decay and rot, which often leads to window leaks and mold growth. Frames will eventually begin sagging as well, which can make it harder to open and close the windows.
