4 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Windows

Your windows may not be able to speak, but they still have a way of telling you when something is off. Many factors can affect the performance and longevity of your windows. As a homeowner, it’s important to be aware of the signs that mean your windows are no longer performing correctly.

In today’s post, Renewal by Andersen® of Cincinnati, your premier window replacement company, discusses the four red flags that mean your windows need to be replaced:

1. Damaged

Although a broken or warped window may still be operable, some cases require replacement. Professionals can easily spot underlying issues that untrained eyes might overlook. If you notice that your window is damaged, call a professional to come and inspect the window and offer guidance on the best course of action.

2. Increase in Energy Bills

Old windows are often drafty. According to Energy.gov, drafty windows can cause 10% to 15% of an increase in utility costs. The good news is that modern manufacturing methods allow companies to provide cost-effective solutions. Our replacement windows come with an advanced High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, which is 56% more energy-efficient in summer and 45% more energy-efficient in winter than other products.

3. Worn Down and Ugly

One of the biggest reasons people invest in home improvement projects is to enhance the appearance of their home. An old, worn down window is not only probably performing badly and lowering your home’s energy efficiency—it’s also an eyesore. Replacing old windows is a great way to rejuvenate the look and feel of your home.

4. Faded Furniture

If your furniture or other décor is looking faded, your windows are the culprit. Old windows do almost nothing to stop harmful UV rays from entering your home and causing your valuables to fade. Our windows come with High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, preventing infrared and UV ray intrusion in your home.
