HOW TO RECOGNIZE
WHEN IT’S TIME TO
Replace Your Windows
Windows are a major component of a home. Window
installation professionals will tell homeowners
that the average life span of residential windows
is between 15 and 30 years. Most well-maintained
products can last 20
years, so homeowners
who have windows
approaching
that age may want to
schedule a window
assessment and possible
replacement.
Replacing windows
is a job that
requires advanced
skill, and this is not a do-it-yourself project. There are many
qualifi ed professional window installation companies that
will work with homeowners to measure, order and install
windows that will fi t with the style of a home and local
weather, all while providing features the homeowner desires.
For those wondering when to replace windows, Pella
and Renewal by Andersen, two of the premiere window
manufacturers, offer these guidelines.
• Diffi culty opening and closing windows. A window that
does not operate as it should can aggravate homeowners. If
windows are sticking shut or cannot be securely closed, it’s
probably time for something new.
• There’s apparent window damage. Accidents happen,
and if a rock is kicked up from a lawnmower and cracks a
window or if spring baseball practice has gone awry with an
errant throw, windows may require replacement.
• Drafts in the window are common. If heating and cooling
systems are working overtime, drafty, poorly insulated
windows could be to blame. Various agencies can perform
energy effi ciency tests in a home. Windows that are determined
to be the weak spots should be replaced.
• Dated windows are present in the home. Older windows
may pose safety hazards, especially those in older homes.
A larger window may be needed to comply with fi re safety
codes allowing for window egress. Dated windows also
may simply look “old” and compromise the aesthetics of
a home.
• Outdoor noises are noticed quite readily. Newer windows
can help reduce noise transmission. So those leaf
blowers, airplanes, barking dogs, and kids playing basketball
up the street won’t disturb homeowners as they try to
enjoy some peace and quiet indoors.
• Fading indoors is noted. Windows that do not feature
low-emissivity (Low-E) glass coatings will not block UV
rays. Those rays can cause fading to wood fl oors and furniture
or pretty much anything the sunlight touches. Replacing
existing windows with Low-E coating alternatives can
safeguard belongings and improve window effi ciency.
