Undergoing constant wear and tear from being exposed to the outside elements, windows require maintenance and occasional repair in order to be relied on in all weather conditions. And at a certain point, when they’re no longer functioning adequately, all windows will require eventual replacement.
To be aware of the first signs indicating you need window replacement services, here are three things to look out for:
- Hard to operate: Windows should easily slide into the desired position with little effort. Once your windows become difficult to open, close, and lock properly, this is a sure sign you’ll benefit from window replacement services in the near future.
- Decreased energy efficiency: If you feel cool air near your windows or drafts in your home, this is a sign that the insulative properties of your windows are declining. This type of concern can also have a negative impact on your energy bills, causing your expenses to rise as your heating and cooling systems work harder to maintain a consistent temperature in your home.
- Loud noises entering: Your windows also provide a barrier from outdoor disturbances such as dogs barking, neighbors talking, lawn equipment running, and construction. A window that’s not properly installed or reaching the end of its lifespan will no longer effectively prevent these noises from entering your home.
