5 Reasons to Replace Your Windows

With the warmer weather here, now is the ideal time to replace your windows, so here are five great reasons why you should:

1. Boost the “Wow” Factor - Brand-new windows have a huge impact on the overall look of a home, inside and out— an important element when you sell a home.

 2. Save on Energy Costs - Modern windows are packed with technologies that lower heating and cooling bills. From Low-E Argon, to special spacer bars, to high-insulating construction, these technologies can provide savings and comfort you'll notice (bye-bye drafts), especially if you're replacing very old windows.

3. Cut the Noise – New windows will reduce noise pollution, allowing a more peaceful and restful living environment. Studies have shown noise pollution to be linked with poor health (i.e., stress-related illness, high blood pressure, speech interference, hearing loss, sleep disruption, and lost productivity).

4. Dust Defenders – If you replace your windows with ones that have the between-the-glass blinds you won’t have to worry about your window coverings becoming dust collectors.

5. A More Secure Home – New windows have enhanced security features, such as advanced locking mechanisms and security sensors.  

Will new windows boost the resale value of your home? They might, at least a little. But there's one thing for certain: upgraded windows definitely make your home look more appealing to buyers.
