Invest in New Replacement Windows This Winter

It’s never too early to start thinking about getting your Virginia Beach home ready for the winter. Colder temperatures and harsh weather can both cause damage to your windows, and if your current windows are near the end of their life, this may cause them to fail. If you’re noticing any of the following issues, it might be time to replace your windows:

Air leaks: The caulk around your window frames can freeze and crack, causing holes to form along the seal. These gaps will create air leaks that let in cold drafts. You can feel these drafts as you pass by the window. Weather stripping is a short-term fix, but it will also wear down over time.

Heat troubles and high energy bills: When your home is having trouble properly heating a room, faulty windows are likely the cause. There could be several issues that your old windows are creating. Air leaks can let in cold air drafts, fighting against your heat and costing you money. Thin glass and worn down materials make it easier for the windows to let the heat inside escape and let the outside air seep in. Whatever the reason, when your heating system has to work harder to heat your home, it will raise your energy bills.

Water damage: When ice forms along your window frame, the heat escaping from your home can melt it into water that leaks along your frame, sill, and even your walls. If you notice stains, discoloration, or signs of rot around your windows, it’s probably due to the melted ice.

Between energy costs and repairs, all of these problems can cost you a lot of time and money.
