We just spotted our first robin of spring! That means it’s time to get homes ready for spring, and to start replacing old, inefficient windows that have been costing their homeowners money—-one of the key reasons to replace your home’s windows.
If you’re one of those homeowners losing money—literally—out the window, don’t procrastinate in calling for a quote for new windows. Here are three good reasons it makes cents to
contact an experienced contractor sooner than later.
Winter may have done a number on your old windows.
The freezing weather and moisture of our Wisconsin winters can damage the caulking around your windows, window frame and your panes. The common fix for caulking and weather stripping damage is to fill the gaps around your window with calk. If you’ve been fixing and filling the leaks for years, you have moisture between your panes, your framing is rotting, or can see light around your windows, the efficiency of your windows is only going to continue to decrease.
Contact a contractor for a quote.
The longer you have those old windows, the longer you pay more on energy bills.
Drafty windows can compromise the energy efficiency of your home, causing your energy bills to rise. An initial investment in quality windows creates long-term savings; replacing old windows can reduce household energy bills by as much as 15 percent. In the long run, your home is warmer and your wallet thicker as you enjoy lower energy bills and a more comfortable home.
