With fall now upon us, summer is officially over. While most homeowners are preparing their homes for the winter season, some are getting replacement windows in Boise before the cold wind, and low temperatures hit. That’s why Pacific Home & Patio would like to provide you with the following top reasons to replace your windows this fall.
Inspecting Your Current Windows
You might be putting off the task because getting new windows is a large investment. However, if you notice the following five signs, it’s probably time for an upgrade.
- Drafts: The cost of a window replacement is far more reasonable when compared to expensive heating and cooling bills due to old, drafty windows.
- Damage: No amount of repairs and cleaning will remedy window frames that are warped, cracked, or soft.
- Noise: With your neighbors enjoying the outdoors, you might be noticing that your current windows aren’t as soundproof as you’d like.
- Dysfunction: Windows that do not open, close, or lock properly are unacceptable—and dangerous—any time of the year!
- Condensation: Condensation can be a key sign of poor energy efficiency, which means you’ll have to run that AC more to keep your home comfortable.
Optimize Home Comfort
Many people don’t realize that replacement windows can make their homes much more comfortable. Old, leaky windows may not cause too much of a stir during the fall and spring, but they are particularly noticeable on cold or hot days. Additionally, new energy-efficient windows can provide you with more control over the UV rays entering your home. Replacement windows will also prevent any drafts and keep your home warm even during the coldest months of the year.
Reduce Energy Bills
New energy-efficient windows can greatly reduce expensive heating and cooling bills. Since the windows of your home are the number one place where treated air can escape, your furnace will end up working overtime trying to keep your home warm during the winter. While replacement windows in Boise may seem like an expensive investment, it’s important to know that you’ll end up saving thousands of dollars over the long run.
Increased Home Value
New windows are one of the main things homebuyers look for when purchasing a new home. While you may not be planning to sell your home any time soon, new windows are one of the top features potential buyers want. If you plan to sell your home down the road, you can greatly increase its value due to the energy efficiency and aesthetics replacement windows.
