Over the years, your windows have constantly been exposed to different weather elements. After frequent opening and closing, expect them to have considerable wear and tear. By the time they reach the end of their lifespan, they won’t be as effective in maintaining indoor temperatures as before. This is why it makes sense to get them replaced after several years.
If you’re already considering a complete replacement, you might feel a bit hesitant because of a few misconceptions about this particular home improvement project. Today, we debunk some of the most popular ones here:
Myth: Replacing Windows Takes Too Long
Truth: Of course, the idea of enduring a prolonged period of having your home filled with strangers during replacement may not be appealing for some. However, you must not assume that this project will take a long time to complete. A professional window installer will schedule the nearest available date for the installation and complete it as quickly and efficiently as possible. The team will also get the exact measurements of your window openings beforehand, so there’s usually no need to cause more damage than necessary during installation.
Myth: Windows Don’t Improve Energy Efficiency
Truth: Sometimes, you’ll hear that getting new windows won’t make a difference in energy efficiency. However, you should understand that a significant percentage of wasted energy in a typical home is lost through doors and windows. As such, the type of window you choose is crucial if you’re aiming for better energy efficiency for your home.
Myth: Summer Is the Best Time for Window Replacement
Truth: Just because it’s the sunniest time of the year doesn’t mean it’s the best for installing new windows. When you work with professional installers, you won’t have to wait for a specific season to get your windows replaced. They’ll have the knowledge, experience and equipment to ensure a successful window installation no matter the time of year. You can even have it done immediately if you’re planning to replace them in time for winter. Call our team today so that we’ll get started!
