Most homeowners replace old windows to stop leaks without realizing there are several other significant benefits to installing new modern windows in their homes. Some of these are obvious, and others are gains you might not be expecting when considering replacing your windows.
Eliminate Leaks
The ability of new windows to eliminate leaks is undeniable but worth mentioning at the top of the list. Trying to have family time in a room with leaky windows is no fun, especially during the harsh winter months here in Minnesota. Cold exterior air can make your living room very uncomfortable. Today’s windows, when installed by a reputable contractor, have a better seal to keep the cold outdoor air out and air conditioning inside during the warm months.
Ease of Maintenance
You will also discover that modern windows have an easy-to-clean design. Many windows tilt inward, making it possible to clean both sides from inside your home. This can be a game-changer if you have been climbing a ladder to clean upper-floor windows.
Higher Resale Value
You may not have considered this benefit, but if you decide to sell your home in the future, new modern windows are a strong selling point. Because of the improved curb appeal, your home will be valued higher and may sell faster. New windows are always at the top of the list for prospective buyers.
Energy Cost Savings
Modern windows are better insulated to keep out the elements during the winter. Besides making your home more comfortable, this helps you to save on energy expenses. A lesser-known benefit of this energy savings is the increased lifespan of your HVAC system due to less wear and tear on moving parts.
More Reasons to Replace Old Windows
- Improved Safety and Security – Stronger construction and locking mechanisms of modern windows provide increased security for your home.
- Better Air Quality – This is especially important if any family members suffer from allergies or asthma.
- Noise Reduction – Good quality windows will limit the street noise entering your home.
- Minimize Condensation – Excess moisture can lead to mold. It is important to control the humidity inside your home to reduce the chances of mold growth.
