Are Your Windows Ready for Spring?
Spring is in the air! The days are getting longer, the flowers are blooming, and the chill of winter is finally behind us. But before you throw open the windows to enjoy the fresh spring breeze, ask yourself this crucial question: are your windows ready for spring?
Taking some time now to prepare and inspect your windows can save you headaches later and ensure your home stays comfortable and energy efficient as the seasons change.
Improve Your Home's Comfort with Prepared Windows
Winter can take a toll on your windows. From freezing temperatures to heavy snow and ice, your windows endure a lot during those colder months. Damage or neglect can lead to drafts, rising energy bills, and even moisture issues. Spring is the perfect time to clean, inspect, and repair your windows to keep them looking and functioning their best.
Check for Damage: Inspect your windows thoroughly for any signs of damage. Are there cracks in the glass? Warped or rotting frames? Make note of any problems, no matter how minor they may seem. Promptly addressing damage can prevent further issues like drafts, water leaks, or even pest intrusion.
Inspect Weather Seals: Properly sealed windows are key to keeping drafts out and maintaining energy efficiency. Check the weatherstripping around your windows for cracks, gaps, or wear and tear. Replace damaged seals immediately to keep your home comfortable and reduce energy costs.
Test for Energy Efficiency: Drafty windows don’t just compromise comfort; they can also spike your energy bills. On a breezy day, hold a lit candle near the edges of your windows and watch for flickering flames. If you notice air leakage, that’s a sign your windows might need repairs or weatherstripping.
Upgrade to Modern Windows: If your windows are older or showing significant wear, spring might be the perfect time for an upgrade. Modern energy-efficient windows can drastically improve your home’s insulation, reduce energy costs, and boost curb appeal.
