When Should I Replace My Windows?

Windows are a crucial part to a home, in which case they should always be up to date. There are many signs that indicate that a window needs to be replaced. If your windows show any of these signs, call Baystate Screen and Window today to have them replaced!

Performance

Windows are made to let in light, but not temperature. If air is leaking in, out or around the window, or condensation or fogging is occurring, these are signs that the windows are no longer performing up to standards. Replacing your old windows with new energy efficient ones can help save you hundreds on your next energy bill. Especially single pane windows, because they are the least energy efficient and allow drafts to enter a home.

Looks

If your windows LOOK like they need to be replaced, then they most likely need to be replaced. If paint or wood chipping, deterioration, cracks, chips or water stains are apparent, the windows should be replaced to an upgraded version.

Noise

If you can constantly hear noises from outside, even if your windows are closed, then it could be time to replace your windows. New windows have the ability to block out all noises from outside, giving you a quiet, peaceful home.

Effort

If opening and closing a window is a task in itself, then the windows are mostly likely outdated and need to be replaced. In many older homes, windows can be nailed or painted shut. This could create a hazard if there were ever an emergency and the house needed to be evacuated.
