Windows protect your home from the elements and define its aesthetic appeal. High-quality models also provide more energy efficiency to help you save money and protect the planet. If the fixtures in your house have never been replaced, here are a few reasons to schedule new installations.

Why Should You Replace Your Windows?

1. Upgrade to More Panes

Many windows only have single panes. These models lack the energy efficiency of modern styles, which are typically double- or triple-pane designs filled with insulating argon. This gas prevents indoor heat from escaping during the winter. You’ll rely less on your HVAC system throughout the season, leading to reduced utility bills.

2. Change the Aesthetic

There are many different ways to give your home a new look. Replacing windows is a simple project that will do this.

Swap dated windows that no longer suit your preferences for fresher products, like sliding glass or vinyl frames. Eliminate grids for a more minimal appearance or add more to create a feature wall. 

3. Seal Off Drafts

Old wooden frames leave minuscule gaps that leak outside air into the home. Those openings could also invite moisture inside, creating condensation. If you notice that your house never feels like it’s at the temperature set on your thermostat, this might be the problem. This happens due to temperature fluctuations throughout the seasons, which cause warping in wood. To keep your home at a comfortable temperature and eliminate cold spots, upgrade to new fixtures.
