Do you need to get your windows replaced? Or maybe your front door needs an upgrade. But winter is coming. You are thinking about doing it sooner than later, but you are not sure if you can get your project done when it is colder outside. This is a common scenario we run into with our customers this time of year. In this blog we are going to discuss about the 5 reasons to upgrade windows & doors during winter season.
Many homeowners are under the false assumption that you cannot upgrade your windows and doors during the winter. Or at least it is not a recommended time of year to do so. This is not true at all.
Window and door issues can be dealt with all year – and the sooner the better. Winter is an ideal time to address sudden issues or problems that gave progressed too far because of the big impact they can have on your home.
From air leaks to broken glass, broken seals, and other issues, they can all affect your indoor air quality, comfort, and increase your energy bill. Winter is the time of year you will notice that frosty draft. You will also want to take care of it as soon as possible.
Below are five reasons why winter is a great time to upgrade your windows and doors:
1. Winter Weather Can Help Identity Issues And Accelerate Deterioration
Cold weather can help bring attention to window and door issues. You may notice a cold draft coming in through a window you are your patio door, frost build up around window frames and entryways, and even the development of mould. These are all things you will want to address as soon as possible.
The cold can also turn a minor issue into a potentially major problem very quickly. The longer you wait to address the issue, the more expensive it could become. Why wait until the spring when you could reduce your costs now and address the problem?
2. Old And Damaged Windows And Doors Cost You Money
Inefficient and old windows and doors not only can be a potential eyesore, but they can also cost you money. If exterior air is getting into your home, it is affecting the indoor temperature in your home. This will put increased pressure on your furnace. It will run longer and put more pressure on it. This will lead to more expensive energy bills. It will also likely require you to get your HVAC system serviced more frequently. Failure to act will cost you more money.
3. Winter Is The Best Time Of The Year To Get Better Pricing On Windows And Doors
Who does not enjoy saving some money, right? Well, winter is the best time of year to get a better deal on windows and doors. There is typically less demand in the winter, so window and door installation companies offer better prices to incentivize homeowners to complete their project now instead of waiting until spring. So, winter is a great time of the year to explore your options. You may qualify for free product upgrades, promotional offers, and better financial terms to pay for your project.
4. More Flexible Scheduling And Installation Dates
There is no doubt winter is the least busy time of year for window installers. During spring and summer, you are at their mercy in terms of project scheduling. Even waiting a couple of days to book could require you to wait weeks or months for an installation date. It is different in the winter. There are fewer projects on the go and fewer products being manufactured. This will make production and installation dates more flexible. For you, this means you will be able to get your windows much quicker.
Keep in mind that unexpected inclement weather and COVID delays could affect scheduling. Regardless, you will get your new windows and doors sooner than if you choose to wait until next spring or summer.
5. Concerned About The Impact of The Cold Weather? Do not Be!
Window and door installers adapt to the temperature outside. They adjust how they install new windows and doors based on the weather conditions. For example, they will use caulking that is rated for winter temperatures. Or they will work on installing one window at a time to minimize the effects of heat loss. Depending on the situation, installers can also close all interior doors or put-up plastic walls and door coverings to temporarily block airflow. So, these are the 5 reasons to upgrade windows & doors during winter season.
