Your home's windows are a significant investment, so you want to be sure they last as long as possible. However, they're bound to become outdated and worn out over time, so it's important to know when you need to replace them. Learn more about some key signals that it's time to replace the windows in your home and sunroom.

How Do You Know When to Replace Your Windows?

1. Physical Damage

Windows can warp and become loose in their frames over time. While you might be ignoring an old window's faults, the issues will only get worse if they're not addressed. If you notice splintered wood, broken glass, warped vinyl, or any other physical damage, call a professional. They'll likely recommend replacing all of the windows to prevent additional issues.

2. Rising Energy Costs

Quality windows keep air in your home, minimizing your energy costs. As a result, take note if your energy bills start to creep up. Drafty windows can cause rising energy costs, so call a window professional to check your home and sunroom for leaks. They may offer repair solutions, but replacement is generally the best way to make your home more efficient.

3. Upcoming Renovations

If you're updating a sunroom, kitchen, or living space in your home, your windows should enhance the appearance of the room. However, worn-out windows might take away from your renovation. Talk to a window professional about updating your windows along with the rest of the space. If you have a historic home, they can recommend ways to replace the windows while still honoring the classic style.
