Are Your Cincinnati Windows Winter Ready?

It may not feel like it yet, but winter is just around the corner. Before that cold and nasty weather hits Cincinnati make sure that your windows are ready for it. If they aren’t you just might have a miserable and expensive winter season in your home this year.

Have an Energy Assessment Done on Your Home

As soon as you can, contact your local utility company and see if they can do an energy-efficiency assessment on your home. This usually entails them coming out and checking all of the usual places that heat can escape from your home in the winter, and places where the cold can get in. And many times it is your windows that are doing both.

Once they are done with their assessment, they can tell you the results and what you need to do to make your home more energy efficient before the winter hits.

Make Repairs to Your Cincinnati Windows

Even without an assessment being done by your utility company, there are just some places on your windows that you can tell are damaged and letting air in and out. It could be a broken glass pane, gaps between your window and the house, or signs around the window of water damage.

Once you have located the window damage, contact us as soon as possible. That way we can help you with getting that window replaced before the winter gets here. We can still replace the window in the winter, but if you can do it before then it will save you some money on your utility bill

Think About Energy-Efficient, Cincinnati Windows

Energy-efficient windows are good to have all year round, but winter is when you really notice the difference. Windows that are energy efficient do a better job at keeping the heat in your home and the cold out of your home in the winter.

This is not only important for making the inside of your home more comfortable, but it also prevents your heater from working so hard to keep your home warm. Actually any of the above repairs or changes will make at least a little bit of difference in how hard your heater works and how much your utility bill will be in the winter.

So before it is too late and you start racking up those high heating bills, get your Cincinnati windows winter ready.
