You might have heard that it’s not a smart idea to replace your windows during winter. However, this is actually untrue. Thanks to modern advancements, it’s possible to replace your windows any time of the year. Heating bills are always at their peak during the winter season, which is why you should consider replacing your drafty windows with more energy-efficient ones this season.
Today, Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania shares five reasons why winter is actually a great time to schedule your window replacement.
1. Increase Energy Savings
Don’t wait until next spring or summer to replace your leaking window. If you do, your monthly energy costs will significantly rise, and your HVAC system will face issues as it tries to keep up. Once your new energy-efficient windows are installed, you’ll enjoy a more comfortable home with lower energy bills to boot!
2. Safe Installation
Thanks to technological innovations, it’s safe and easy to replace your window during the winter. Experienced window contractors know which sealant is best for each situation. A silicone-based caulk, for instance, adheres better in colder weather and also has excellent waterproofing and weatherization features.
3. Prevent Mold and Mildew
Leaky windows can lead to mold and mildew growth, a health hazard for everyone in the household. Avoid that problem this winter by installing high-quality replacement windows.
4. Take Advantage of the Slow Season
Winter is considered the “off-season” for window replacement. This means contractors will be able to fit you in sooner and may also offer better prices.
