Although windows are designed to be durable and resilient, they will steadily show signs of wear and tear over time. If you live in an older home or can’t recall how old the windows in your house are, it’s important to be able to recognize the signs that your windows aren’t performing as well as they should.
Here at Alpha One Restoration, we’re proud to supply and install replacement windows for homeowners throughout our community, and we’re passionate about helping people create safer and more energy efficient living environments. Below, we’d like to share some key indications that it’s time to contact us for replacement windows.
- Higher Energy Bills – If your energy bills are higher for no discernible reason, your windows might be letting in drafts or allowing heat to easily escape. Modern windows offer better insulating properties, making it easier to keep your home at a comfortable and consistent temperature.
- Difficult Operation – If your windows are difficult to open, close, or lock, it can be frustrating, but it can also pose a serious security risk.
- Condensation Between Panes – Condensation forming within a double-pane window means that the seal has broken. If left unaddressed, this can reduce the window’s insulting properties and cause more damage over time.
- Visible Damage – Windows with cracked glass, decaying frames, or peeling paint may indicate deeper structural problems, such as mold, rot, or water damage.
