Your windows and doors are something pretty to look at on your home’s exterior, but they do so much more than add light and curb appeal. They’re crucial components of your home’s overall energy efficiency too!

High-quality, well-maintained windows and doors help regulate indoor temperature by minimizing unwanted heat transfer. In the summer, they keep cool air from escaping. In the winter, they prevent warm air from leaking through gaps. This temperature regulation reduces the strain on your heating and cooling systems, which can lead to significant savings on monthly utility bills.

Properly sealed windows and doors also act as a barrier against drafts, humidity, and outdoor pollutants, creating a more comfortable and healthier living environment. When they’re functioning as they should, you’ll notice more consistent indoor temperatures and lower energy costs. When they aren’t, however, your home could quickly become less efficient and more expensive to maintain.

How windows and doors indicate a need for replacement

• Drafts or air leaks: Feeling a breeze around the frame, even when closed, demonstrates that the window or door is not creating a firm seal.
• Condensation or fog between panes: This is a sign of broken seals in double- or triple-pane windows.
• Difficulty opening or closing: Frames may be warped, swollen, or damaged.
• Visible damage: Cracks, rot, or warping in the frame or sash can quickly evolve into more severe issues.
• Increased energy bills: Higher heating and cooling costs without changes in usage will pressure homeowners to make a change quickly.
• Fading furniture or flooring: UV rays can penetrate glass without proper coating.
• Noticeable outside noise: Reduced sound insulation might be due to failing seals or thin glass.
