Installing new windows is a significant investment in your home, so you don’t want to complete the project sooner than is necessary. You also don’t want to put off a needed window replacement project.

Here are some ways to know that it’s time to replace your windows—and we should know! Energy Home Pros is a San Antonio window replacement company that brings more than 75 years of combined experience, and we’re happy to share our expertise.

The Age of Your Windows

Windows are intended to last 15-20 years. If yours are older than that, it may be time to move forward with your window replacement project. Of course, some windows last longer and some won’t last quite that long, so the age of your windows isn’t the only thing to consider.

Visible Damage

If you see gaps, rotting wood, broken glass, or other visible damage, it’s a good time for an update. Even if the damage appears to be minor, it impacts energy efficiency, curb appeal, and possibly security

Drafty Windows

If your windows are drafty, you’re paying too much for heating and cooling costs. Cool air seeps out of drafty windows and heat and humidity seeps in. You may notice that it’s more difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature in some rooms, and that means your HVAC systems will have to work harder to try and keep up.

Higher Electric Bills

If you’re wondering why your electric bills are higher than normal, outdated or damaged windows could be to blame. As mentioned above, drafts can cause your heating and cooling system to work harder, driving up the cost of electricity. Energy-efficient windows will help you save every month and make it easier to keep your home comfortable in every season.

Difficult to Operate

If you can’t open and close your windows easily, invest in an update. Functionality matters just as much as style and energy efficiency. Being unable to open your windows diminishes your enjoyment of your home.
