How Do You Know When It’s Time To Replace Your Windows?

The lifespan of your windows depends on the type you have and their maintenance, but most double-pane windows will last about 20 years. After 20 years, their seals start to fail or crack, causing you to feel drafts inside your home and potentially allowing water to seep inside. If you think your windows may be nearing that two-decade mark, it’s wise to examine their condition and consider their replacement.

Here are the top 5 warning signs you may need new windows:

1. You feel a draft. 
2. Your windows have visible damage or moisture, such as cracking, decaying, or condensation between the glass panels..
3. Your energy bill is super high due to your windows’ inefficiencies. 
4. Your windows are difficult to operate.
5. You can hear outdoor noises loud and clear inside your home. 

Replacing your windows is a great investment that will increase your home’s energy efficiency,  your home’s security, and your home’s curb appeal.
