How Many Windows Should I Replace?

Deciding the number of windows to replace in your home can often feel daunting, especially with so many things to consider. In this blog post, Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania explains the benefits of replacing all windows and doing the same but in increments.

The Benefits of Replacing All Windows

Replacing all windows at once has its benefits. For one, all windows will be uniform in appearance. The fact that the windows match helps in boosting your home’s curb appeal and maintaining the consistency of its architecture. Apart from that, replacing all windows at once bolsters your home’s energy efficiency, effectively sealing gaps or drafts to minimize energy. This is especially true if all the windows installed come with features ranging from low emissivity glass coatings (low-E) to insulating frames.

The best reason for going this route, however, is that the installation itself happens in one go. It may take a day or two depending on the number of windows being replaced, but the fact that this project happens within a single timeframe means you won’t have to deal with the inconvenience that comes with gradual window replacement.

The Benefits of Replacing Windows Gradually

Meanwhile, spreading out window replacement, or having your existing windows replaced in batches, has its own set of advantages, mostly in terms of budget. Replacing old windows one or a few at a time makes it more manageable, as you’ll be focusing on those that need immediate attention, particularly ones that are way past their life span or are showing significant wear and tear.

Replacing windows in batches also gives you the chance to determine how effective the windows still are before deciding on replacing windows all at once. Moreover, this approach means preserving your home’s character while improving its functionality gradually.
