There are many reasons to replace the windows in your home. Whether it is to fix damages, add value, getting the right look, or make your home more energy efficient, replacing your windows can make a huge difference. Even if you think your windows are fine, find out below why you may need to consider replacing them.

Older Windows Are Costing You Money

Windows are not meant to last forever. The typical lifespan for most windows are about 15 to 20 years. Aging windows can create drafts of air leading into, and out of, your house. This could be affecting your utility bill as much as 10%-25%. The comfort level in your home is also affected and puts more strain on your heating and air units to keep your house to the desired level you prefer.

Newer Windows Have More Features

Older windows are usually based off the basic design we are all used to. The cleaning and maintenance are a hassle to deal with for some people. However, the newer designs offer many features that are very appealing to a lot of homeowners. Some designs of newer windows can be cleaned much easier by the window tilting inside. Other windows can be darkened

Safety Features and Peace of Mind Can Come from Your New Windows

Windows are not just a slab of glass that you can peer outside of or open and let in a nice spring breeze. The newer designs have many safety features that older windows do not possess. Egress windows open large enough for a fireman to pass through if needed. Block windows allows light to enter into the house but does not allow anyone to see into. This makes them perfect for brightening up bathrooms and showers.

Add More Value to Your Home and To Your Way of Life

A home is a huge investment and the value can increase or decrease over time depending on how you maintain and update it. If you plan to live in the house for many years, or if you plan to resell it, one of the best things you can do for your home is to update the windows. The average return on investment runs about 85% when replacing your old windows. Nowadays, windows are more than just glass and wood. They can help you save money, save time on cleaning, and in some cases, help save your life.
