Winter is when you want to ensure your windows are functioning properly in your home. During this time of the year, the temperature outside and inside the home is much cooler. If you discover your house is much colder than it should be then it means there may be an issue with the windows. When windows become damaged, they allow the warm air produced by your house to escape while allowing the cold air to seep in. Here are a handful of benefits that can come from replacing your windows in the winter.
Prevent Old Windows from Creating Mold
Windows found in the lower parts of your house are more at risk of forming mold when damaged and this is due to the fact that moisture is formed due to the build up of air entering the home from outside. Naturally if you discover one or two spots of mold, it’s not necessarily a big deal. It, however lets you know that further damage may be imminent if the issue isn’t addressed soon.
Window Replacement Will Save Money Down The Line
Waiting until a window is totally damaged before replacing it will cost you way more than if you just got it fixed when the issues were still minimal. Delaying fixing it will mean you spend much more monthly on electricity bills. The longer you postpone repair, the more money you will waste on energy, and at the end of the day you will still need to replace the damaged windows, so there’s no point in the delay.
Winter is the Best Season to Discover Window Problems
As stated earlier in the article, when the temperature inside your house is much cooler than you expected during winter, it gives you a hint that there is a problem with the windows. You won’t be able to discover this problem in the summer because the weather is warm during that period. Of course, if the whole house is cold during winter you haven’t necessarily pinpointed which of the windows is faulty.
Damaged Windows Affect A Home’s Value
The most popular time for home sales are in the Summer months. If your home has affected windows in the winter, it could affect your home’s value if you plan on putting it on the market once spring ends. The reason for the drastic drop in value is that the new owner still knows they’ll have to get the windows fixed before moving in for total comfort.
