If your old windows rattle in the wind, let drafts come in through the house, and have some rot, it's time to consider a replacement. Upgrading to new windows is not only a worthwhile investment to improve your home's efficiency, but this can also help to better support the structure of the home.

Old windows could have your home at risk of damage from wind, water, pests, and more. Here are a few things you'll want to talk about with a window installation estimator that comes to your home for an in-person quote.

Stop Air Loss

When the seals on windows break and the frames pull from the house, or the windows can't shut properly because of house shifting, this is when air starts to easily leave the home. Upgrading to new energy-efficient windows that have the following features can make the home more energy efficient:

Double or triple-pane glass
Argon gas in between the panes
Low-E glass coating
Durable frame materials

The upgraded energy-efficient windows won't just work to improve your heating and cooling bills but will also protect the house from UV rays that can damage interior materials as well.

Update the Look of the Home

New windows give you the opportunity as a homeowner to update the look of the home. This means you can choose a similar color that was picked when the home was first built or make changes to make the windows a focal point or to make the windows more modern.

Improve Safety

New windows allow you to enhance the safety of the home. Windows that lock securely will stop people from getting in, and windows that don't have damaged seals or frames will keep pests out of the house. If you have a home security system, make sure that you choose windows that can be connected to that system.

New window frames will also help to keep the structure of the exterior walls intact while reducing noise transfer in and out of the house. When the experts get the existing windows out, adding new insulation is an option you may want added to your quote.
