Window Replacement for Virginia, Maryland, and the Metro D.C. Area – When Is It Time to Replace Your Windows?

Window replacement is a highly recommended project for homeowners with old and underperforming windows. Windows have a large impact on the energy efficiency of your home and the health of your family. New replacement windows, with durable composite frames and energy-efficient glass, help to more thoroughly insulate homes. This reduces the stress put on heating and cooling systems which ultimately reduces your home’s energy consumption. New windows also help to tightly seal your home against outside moisture, which reduces mold growth.

There are two quick ways to determine if your home would benefit from window replacement:

• First, stand next to any of your windows. If it feels warmer or cooler near the window than in the middle of the room, your window glass, frame, or both are not providing proper insulation. This means your energy bills could be lower following a window replacement.

• Next, carefully position the flame from a lighter or candle in front of the sealed bottom edge of your closed window.  Slowly move it along the entire edge and up the sides as well. If it flickers anywhere along the seal, you have an air leak, and it is time for window replacement. Air leaks not only lead to higher bills, they can foster mold growth as well.

Old, unsightly windows are, by themselves, another reason to replace windows. Replacing them with composite windows that don’t fade, warp, or rot will help preserve your home’s value.
