Is It Possible to Replace Windows in the Winter?

Absolutely you can replace windows in the winter!  Of course, when you replace windows in the winter your pros and cons are much different than they would be during the warmer months.  But there is really no reason to wait until the spring to get new windows.

Faster Response Time to Replace Windows

People don’t usually think that you can replace windows in the winter, so they put off even calling a replacement company until the spring.  Because of this way of thinking, window replacement companies are pretty quiet during the winter months.

This quiet season is one of the best times to call a window replacement company.  It means that they have more openings available to schedule a window replacement for you, so in the winter they can get to your project faster than they would when the weather is warmer.

With the replacement company working with less clients in the winter, it also means that they will have more time for you, instead of having to rush off to the next project.

Replace Windows in Winter for Immediate Effect on Heating Bill

By choosing to replace windows in the winter instead of the warmer months, you will also get to enjoy the immediate effect new windows have on your heating bill.  If you don’t replace windows until the warmer months, you sometimes have to wait up to 9 months before you see the savings on your heating bill.

Of course, the savings you will get to see immediately on your heating bill will vary depending on the type of new window you have installed.

Don’t Want to Replace Windows in the Winter?

Regardless of the benefits of replacing windows in the winter, there are still some that can’t see beyond the disadvantages of doing so.  Disadvantages such as their home being open to the outside winter air while the windows are being replaced, regardless of the precautions that the replacement company takes.  This is something that will stop people dead in their tracks from wanting to even consider a window replacement this time of year.

If you are one of these homeowners that don’t want to do a window replacement in the winter, at least start planning for a spring replacement.  Contact Renewal by Andersen during the winter months to discuss your options and start to get pricing.

Once you have decided to replace windows in your house and the details, you can always schedule a future replacement for when the weather gets warmer.
