When Should You Replace Your Windows? 

A new set of windows can significantly improve the look and safety of your home, not to mention your overall indoor comfort. But when should you replace your windows? It isn’t always easy to tell when it’s time to install new windows, which is why we’ve put together this handy checklist. 

It may be time to replace your windows if:

• Your Windows Are Old: Most windows have an average lifespan of about 15-20 years. After a decade or two, window seals can weaken, crack, or fail, leading to drafts and even potential water damage. Additionally, single-pane windows, which were once widely considered standard, do not offer the same insulation and security as newer, modern double-pane windows. If your windows are old, it may be time to update them with new ones.
• There Is Visible Damage: Windows with visible damage—such as cracks or breaks in the glass, as well as damage to or around the seal or frame—should be replaced right away. Even seemingly minor damage can lead to major issues, such as complete breaks, water damage, mold and mildew, pests, and intruders. The sooner you replace a damaged window, the better, as it will prevent future problems and keep your family safe.
• Your Home Is Drafty: If you can feel drafts—or air coming through the windows—it means that your windows are not properly sealed. This can lead to a whole host of problems, from reduced heating and cooling efficiency to increased indoor humidity and indoor air quality concerns. You’ll end up paying more to heat and cool your home, and your HVAC system will have to work overtime to keep your family comfortable. 
• It Is Very Noisy Inside Your Home: New windows are designed to not only keep out the elements but also reduce noise levels inside the home. If you live in a busy area and want to dampen sound pollution coming into your home, window replacement may be the answer. You might be surprised at the difference that a modern double-pane or triple-pane window can make! Call Big Mountain Heating & Air to learn more.
• There Is Condensation Inside the Windows: When condensation forms on the inside of your windows, it most likely means that the windows are allowing air to come into the home. In other words, it means that your windows are not providing adequate insulation. It could also mean that your home is too humid. Either way, our team at Big Mountain Heating & Air can identify the problem and recommend the right solution. 

You may also want to consider installing new windows if your electric bills have increased without any other possible explanation, or if excess sun exposure is causing your carpets, furniture, and decorations near windows to fade. Modern windows provide exceptional insulation, safety, UV protection, noise dampening, and other benefits you simply cannot get from old, outdated windows. 

Benefits of Window Replacement

The quality and efficiency of replacement windows have improved drastically in the last several years. With stronger vinyl windows and energy-efficient glass options, you can reduce your utility bills, increase the value of your home, improve your comfort, and enhance your curb appeal in one fell swoop.

Some of the many benefits of replacing your windows include:

• Increased home resale value 
• Improved safety and security 
• Enhanced indoor air quality
• Better heating and cooling performance 
• Greater indoor comfort 
• Reduced dust, allergens, and pollutants
• Increased energy efficiency 
• Reduced noise and UV exposure 

Planning to sell your home in the near future? High-quality replacement windows keep your heating and cooling systems from having to work overtime to make up for leaks, cracks, and drafts. A healthy heating and air conditioning system adds value to your home. 

Additionally, when people drive past your house or view it online, the right windows can make a great first impression. Keeping them in top shape creates a more attractive exterior. Finally, the majority of Big Mountain Heating & Air’s replacement windows come with a lifetime warranty—an attractive offer to potential buyers.

What Types of Windows are Available for Installation? 

There are several types of windows available for installation, each with its own unique features and benefits. 

Here are some common types:

• Single-Hung Windows: Single-hung windows have two sashes, but only the bottom sash is operable (moves up and down). The top sash is fixed in place. They are relatively easy to operate and are often used in traditional home designs.
• Double-Hung Windows: Double-hung windows have two operable sashes that can move up and down independently. This allows for better ventilation and easier cleaning since both sashes can tilt inward. Double-hung windows are versatile and suitable for various architectural styles.
• Casement Windows: Casement windows have a single sash that is hinged on one side and opens outward like a door using a crank mechanism. They provide excellent ventilation and a clear view since there is no central divider. Casement windows are popular in contemporary and modern homes.
• Awning Windows: Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, resembling the way an awning operates. They are often installed higher on walls to provide ventilation while maintaining privacy and protection from rain.
• Sliding Windows: Sliding windows have one or more sashes that slide horizontally along tracks. They are easy to operate and are suitable for areas with limited space where a swinging sash would be impractical. Sliding windows are commonly used in modern and contemporary home designs.
• Picture Windows: Picture windows are fixed windows that do not open. They are designed to provide unobstructed views and maximize natural light. Picture windows are often used in combination with other window types to create a larger window opening.
• Bay Windows: Bay windows consist of a central fixed window flanked by two operable windows angled outward. They create additional interior space and add architectural interest to both the interior and exterior of a home. Bay windows are often used in living rooms and bedrooms.

What Are Vinyl Windows? 

First popularized in the 1970s, vinyl windows offer an alternative to traditional wood windows. They are made of a durable plastic material known as PVC and come in a variety of beautiful colors to match any décor preference. When properly and professional installed, vinyl windows offer the same amount of glass space as traditional wood windows, as well as reliable safety and security. What’s more, they offer incredible energy efficiency and can significantly improve the performance of your HVAC system. 

Big Mountain Heating & Air is proud to offer the best in vinyl windows, including California-made Anlin Windows. Vinyl replacement windows are a popular option due to their energy-efficiency and affordability. Requiring no maintenance, these windows prevent air from escaping your home, reducing your home’s energy usage.
