Windows and hinged French doors aren’t only there to provide a view to the outdoors. They also play an essential role in your indoor comfort and protection. Old, leaking windows will not only harm your home’s curb appeal, but they can also increase your heating and cooling costs.

Today, Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania discusses signs that you need to replace your windows now.

Water Leaks

Moisture is your home’s worst enemy. It can lead to rot and mold growth and can compromise the structural integrity of the house. Replace your windows immediately if they are leaking and beyond repair. Windows can fail due to age or faulty installation.

Drafts

Does your home feel drafty in the winter no matter how high you turn up the heat? Drafts are one of the reasons homeowners replace their windows and patio doors. Aside from improved comfort, new windows will also help you save on your energy bills. Double-pane windows with insulating argon or krypton gas, certified by ENERGY STAR® will help eliminate drafts.

Faded Furnishings

UV rays can cause your artwork and furniture to fade. Modern replacement windows feature high-performance glass packages that prevent this problem from occurring. At Renewal by Andersen®, we offer different glass options for added protection and energy efficiency. The most energy-efficient option that we have is our High-Performance Low-E4® SmartSun glass, which is 70 percent more energy-efficient in summer and 49 percent more energy-efficient in winter than ordinary dual-pane glass.
