When Should I Replace My Windows?

Like many home improvement projects, windows often need replacing at less than ideal times. Between the many hours you spend researching brands and installation services, and then having multiple sales persons in your home in order to get a custom quote, the process can be downright daunting. Most of those consultation experiences are going to involve high-pressured sales tactics that leave you even more frustrated and exhausted. But your experience doesn’t need to be so painful. 

At Wallaby Windows of Nashville, we’re not here to make a quick sale. We’re here to build a relationship with you and to solve your problem as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. We have a “pane-free” process that puts the customer experience above all because we value your time and would expect the same if we were in your shoes. 

So how do you know when it’s time to replace your windows? Well, the most common indications are damage and age. Depending upon the window material, the quality of the installation, and if routine maintenance is performed, windows and doors typically last 15 to 30 years. Over time, windows take a beating, even more so with high usage and if not properly maintained. It’s important to understand every situation is different.

Here are some of the issues that we see most frequently:

• Parts malfunctioning
• Cracked glass
• Rotted wood
• Broken seals
• Condensation
• Excessive outdoor noise
• Inoperable unit
• Outdated style

Those visible signs are helpful reminders that it’s time to start considering replacement solutions. But perhaps one of the more significant reasons to do so is what you likely don’t knowingly see and that is the amount of money you’re spending on your utility bills that is directly attributed to energy inefficiency. 

If you currently have single pane windows or are experiencing any of the physical conditions listed above, you are likely spending up to 30% more on your utility bill than you would with upgraded double pane windows from Wallaby Windows of Nashville. Replacing your windows with high quality vinyl and energy efficient glass packages that include Low-E film, argon gas, fin and bulb weatherstripping, and optional foam inserts can not only make your home more comfortable but can also save you hundreds of dollars per year.

Replacement windows offer more comfort and utility savings but they also extend the life of your HVAC and can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 12%. As mentioned previously, we are seeing new windows realize a return on investment of roughly 77%. So although the process may be intimidating and the investment may seem costly, the benefits are hard to ignore.
