Many of us can’t wait for winter to end, but warmer weather also brings its own set of challenges. Now that spring has arrived and the bitterness of winter is behind us, it’s time to start on that home maintenance list and it’s no surprise that inspecting your home’s windows is at the top of that list. The harsh winter weather may have left your windows in need of replacement. From cracked panes, damaged frames, and gaps around your windows, whatever the case, it may be time to replace those old windows. And here at Royal Home Improvement we wanted to take a moment to share the top 4 reasons to replace windows this spring. Moisture, mild temperatures, reduced energy bills, and longer days are just a few reasons why spring is the best time to replace the windows on your home.
Moisture
The temperatures in the fall are typically the same as in the spring. Raising the question, why should homeowners replace windows in the spring instead of the fall? Rainfall occurs more frequently in the fall than it does in the spring, which can lead to longer installation times or water damage. But during the spring, days are often drier for longer periods of time, making spring the perfect time to have new windows installed.
Mild Temperatures
Installing new windows exposes your home to the elements while the old windows are taken out and the new windows are being installed. For this reason, most window companies recommend replacing old windows in the springtime. The mild temperatures of spring will help keep your home a comfortable temperature during the replacement process. Plus, installations are typically completed faster because of the favorable temperatures and weather conditions.
Reduced Energy Bill
Over time the sealant around your windows can fail, creating air leaks and drafts in your home. This can cause your homes air conditioner to work overtime during the summer months, leading to increased energy costs. However, with insulated frames new high-performance windows can help eliminate air leaks and drafts around the windows of your home, saving you energy dollars. That’s why replacing those old windows, with new windows before the summer heat arrives, is a great investment.
Longer Days
Installing windows during the fall and winter months can present some challenges. For instance, days are shorter meaning installers will have less hours of daylight to complete the project. However, during spring and summer, there’s more daylight hours, which allows crews to work for longer periods of time, ensuring that jobs are completed in a timely manner.
