5 Signs It's Time to Replace Your Windows

Old windows can be a quiet source of energy loss and discomfort.

If your home feels drafty or your energy bills are climbing, it may be time to consider window replacement. Here are five clear signs to look for.

  1. Drafts or Poor Insulation
    Feel a breeze near your windows even when they’re closed? That’s a sure sign your seals are broken. This can dramatically impact your home’s temperature control.


  2. Rising Energy Bills
    If you’ve noticed a steady rise in your energy costs, old windows might be the cause. Modern windows are more energy-efficient and can reduce your heating and cooling bills.


  3. Foggy Glass or Condensation Between Panes
    Double or triple-pane windows that show condensation are no longer sealed properly. This not only looks bad but also reduces insulation efficiency and indicates the need for window replacement.


  4. Difficulty Opening or Closing
    If your windows stick or refuse to stay open, the frames may be warped or rotting. This can be a safety issue as well as a functional one.


  5. Noticeable Noise
    Do you hear everything happening outside? New windows provide better sound insulation, especially in busy neighborhoods.
