Reason to Replace #3: Be Rid of Broken Hardware
Are your windows difficult to open? Or worse, a safety hazard? In a double or single hung window, a component called a “balance system” keeps tension on the window sashes to hold them in place as you raise them. If you can’t raise the window or it won’t stay open, your balance system may be broken. Other components that can break include locks, cranks, and latches.
If you have broken hardware, contact the manufacturer for replacement parts. Newer windows may still be under warranty. Unfortunately, parts are very hard to come by for older windows and repairing is usually not possible. In that case, replacement windows are the best option. They’ll be safer and easier to operate, plus you’ll have the added benefit of increased energy efficiency.
Reason to Replace #4: Cost Savings Through Energy Efficiency
Window technology has come a long way in the last 15 years. Today’s windows are stronger, quieter, and much more energy efficient than previous generations. If you replace drafty, single-pane windows with Energy Star®’s rated vinyl replacement windows, you can save up to 31% a year off of heating and cooling costs. It’s a simple way to cut your energy usage and make a positive impact on the environment!
Reason to Replace #5: Love Your Home Even More
New vinyl replacement windows improve the value, performance, comfort, and beauty of your home. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how much quieter your home can be, especially if you live near an airport or military base. You’ll also appreciate a more consistent ambient temperature as your windows insulate your home from the elements and block solar heat gain.
With hundreds of design options, replacement windows can dramatically enhance the appearance of your home. Match the style you have or go for an entirely new look! With different window styles, grid patterns, vinyl colors, and shapes, the possibilities are endless.
