Do your home’s windows have one too many broken latches? Are drafty windows having an impact on your heating and cooling costs? Or maybe you just have an older home with its original single-pane windows and you know it’s time for an upgrade.
Pay close attention and your home always gives off clues that something’s not quite right, including with your windows and doors. If your windows are showing one or more of these five signs, it may be time to look into Simonton replacement windows.
When to Invest in Simonton Replacement Windows
Sign #1: Windows are warped or broken.
Minor problems can be repaired, but a warped or damaged window sash or frame usually means it’s time for replacement. Even if they still operate, windows with these issues can develop bigger problems. If they’re sticking when you try to open or close them, or they refuse to stay open, they’re telling you to replace them!
Sign #2: Your energy bill’s higher than ever.
Energy.gov says drafty windows can make your energy bill increase by 10-25%, so replacing them with energy-efficient ones can immediately reduce your heating and cooling costs. Be sure to consider your specific needs so that you can choose the right Energy Star Most Efficient option for your home.
Sign #3: It’s time for a makeover.
Windows are one of the most prominent features of your home’s exterior, playing a huge role in its overall design theme. When upgrading, consider changing the type of window, too. You can go from a fixed sash to a window that opens and improves airflow, or install larger windows to bring in more natural light.
Sign #4: There’s condensation build-up.
If you regularly see condensation building up between the two panes of glass in your windows it’s a sure sign the seals have failed. Replace them before the windows get too leaky.
Sign #5: You’re renovating a historic home.
Sonoma County is famous for its many vintage and historic homes dating back to the late 1800s. From bungalows to mansions, Simonton makes replacement windows that seamlessly fit into older structures. And all bow, bay, and custom double hung windows come with custom woodgrain interior options.
