Your old or damaged windows could be allowing too much energy to transfer in and out of your home, reducing its energy efficiency and driving up your monthly energy costs. Investing in high-quality, energy efficient windows from a window company in Calgary will greatly improve your overall efficiency and ensure energy savings for years to come.
Tell-tale signs it is time to replace your old windows:
You live in an older home and have never replaced the windows. Even if your old windows seem to be in good shape, they were not built with the same energy efficient technology new windows are today. You’ll find that new windows will make your come more comfortable, lower your energy costs, improve your home’s aesthetics and raise property value.
You can feel a cold draft coming in. Sometimes this can be fixed temporarily by re-sealing your caulking or weather stripping, but the best solution is a window replacement.
There has been water damage or other damage to your windows. If you have wood window frames, inspect the frames for moisture, softness, rot or warping. If that is the case, it’s time for an upgrade. Aluminum or older vinyl could be damaged and no long seal properly. They should also be replaced.
