When to Replace Your Windows

We look through our windows every day, but if everything is going well, we don’t really see them. How do you know when it’s time to replace your windows? Here are some questions to ask yourself.

• Do you want to lower your energy costs? New windows can save you up to 10-20% of your ENERGY COSTS! At McCann Windows and Exteriors in Northbrook, IL, we can work with you to select the best energy-efficient windows for your budget.
• Are your windows damaged? This is the most obvious, but since we see our windows so often, it can be easy to overlook them. If windows are warped, broken, or damaged, it’s best to replace them before they cause more structural damage.
• Remember that homes in certain areas are more susceptible to damage. Is your city on the coast, where the air is more humid, or in an area that is prone to earthquakes or severe storms? Windows can be damaged without showing visible signs. If your home has recently been through a severe storm, it’s best to have a professional inspect your windows.
• Does your decor need to be redone? New windows can go a long way towards refreshing the look and feel of a home. Do you want more light or ventilation in some rooms? If you’re looking to sell your home any time soon, beautiful new windows are a great selling point.
