As we splash into summer, you’re probably not worrying about winter preparation yet, but now is the time to do so! Getting your home ready for winter now will save you a lot of stress and expense down the road, and taking a look at your existing windows is a great place to start.
While you can replace your windows any time, there’s a reason most homeowners opt to replace their windows in the spring and summer months! Taking care of window replacement now will mean your home is better prepared when winter rolls around, which means energy savings, reliability, and comfort all winter long!
Five Benefits of Replacing Your Windows Before Winter
Replacing your existing windows with new double-pane windows is a great way to prepare your home for winter! Rather than waiting on a blustery day when you start to feel the impact of your old, unreliable windows, consider these five benefits to replacing your windows before Jack Frost nips at your nose:
1. Lower Winter Heating Costs
Heating bills will inevitably go up as outdoor temperatures drop, but that shift won’t be as drastic if you have windows built to withstand these fluctuations! Window replacement helps reduce heating costs by improving insulation, so your ambient indoor temperatures are less affected by drafts and heat loss through windows. Replacing your windows with energy-efficient vinyl windows can reduce your energy bills by as much as 15%, meaning your windows will start earning their keep right from the start!
2. Better HVAC Efficiency
Since your new windows passively contribute to keeping your home warm and comfortable during the chilly winter months, your HVAC system doesn’t need to work as hard! This means your HVAC system is less likely to have issues that may require an HVAC repair or replacement.
3. Reliable Weather Resistance
When the winter storms start to hit Kansas City, you want to know that your home is ready to withstand extreme weather conditions! Newer windows will be safer and reliable against the harsh temperatures, snowfall, and winds that winter brings.
Beyond weather conditions, the temperature change also impacts windows as the frames contract in the cold. New replacement windows are designed with this need for flexibility in mind, so you never have to worry about expanding and contracting frames getting warped or having a compromised seal.
4. New and Improved Warranty
While you don’t want to think about the possibility of your windows getting damaged in adverse weather, the possibility is always there! Window replacement that comes with a robust new warranty means that even in this worst-case scenario, you can remain worry-free knowing that window repairs or replacement will be covered.
Most window replacement companies offer a limited warranty of around 10 to 20 years, so if yours is running out, now is the time to restart the clock. Rolox windows take the benefits of a new warranty to the next level by providing you with a lifetime non-prorated warranty, guaranteeing everything from the frame to the hardware to the glass to the screen is completely covered at all times!
5. Fresh Indoor Air Quality
Since you’re less likely to open your windows when it’s chilly outside, indoor air quality becomes much more impactful. Replacement windows boost indoor air quality by keeping pollutants out and fresh, clean air in. New replacement windows are also built with materials that emit significantly less VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions compared to older windows, protecting your household against all manner of health issues related to poor air quality.
