It’s frigid outside, the wind is blowing, and the temperatures continue to drop. Winter may not seem like the ideal time to replace your windows, but cool temperatures have a way of exposing the faults in your windows. Winter is when your windows face their toughest test and, in some cases, it may be the ideal time to replace your windows.
Can my windows be replaced in the winter?
Yes; you can replace your windows in the winter. Windows are commonly replaced in the winter and your install technician will take steps to ensure your home stays warm during the install process.
Replace Your Windows in the Winter for “Off-Season” Benefits
Because most homeowners replace their windows in the warm spring and summer months, those are often the busiest times for manufacturers and installers. By replacing your windows in the winter, you can take advantage of any off-season deals and will likely experience shorter measure and install time frames.
Noticeable Change in Comfort and Savings
Windows work their hardest in the winter and it can be especially obvious if they are in need of repair. If your windows are drafty and your energy bills are high, replacing your windows in the winter will have an immediate effect on the comfort of your home and your energy costs.
Precautions for Winter Window Replacement
A professional window installer will take extra care to ensure your home remains at a comfortable temperature during the install process. Your install team will install windows in one room at a time, ensuring the room is properly sealed off so the rest of the home is not exposed to the elements. Typically, one installer will work on the inside and another on the outside to avoid opening and closing of doors and to minimize the tracking of debris into your home. Installers may also take precautions such as laying drop cloths throughout the home to protect your floors from footprints, dust, and debris. They will also take steps to pre-prepare the window and all its surfaces to minimize the time the opening is left unprotected.
Installing windows in the winter takes a little extra preparation but it is possible and sometimes the best option, especially if you’re windows are not performing at their best. Hiring the right installer for the job will ensure that your home is kept clean and comfortable throughout the process.
You don’t have to suffer with cold and inefficient windows for another winter.
