There’s never a good time to have drafty windows, but having windows that let the cold air in during the winter months probably makes you shudder—or shiver—at the thought. And while you might think you need to struggle through another chilly winter and work on replacing your windows in the warmer months, you’d be wrong.
And no, we’re not talking about you spending hours on a ladder sealing your windows with plastic insulating film. We’re talking about having professionals come and install new windows in the winter.
You might be surprised to learn that windows can be installed year-round, and there are advantages to installing new windows in the winter.
At B&B Siding and Roofing, we ensure that winter window installations have minimal impact on your comfort. By preparing new windows and surfaces ahead of time to limit exposure, replacing one window at a time, and assigning one installer inside the home and another outside, we reduce the need to open and close doors frequently. This approach keeps the process efficient and comfortable for you.
Here are six advantages of replacing your windows during the colder months.
1. Increase your home’s energy efficiency
One of the biggest reasons to replace your windows any time of the year is to improve energy efficiency in your home. Old or damaged windows release heat from inside your home. Installing new windows in the winter means all the money you’re spending to heat your home stays in your home.
New windows help reduce drafts and keep the heat indoors, reducing heating costs significantly—new energy-efficient windows can save between 7% and 15% on annual household energy bills.
2. Protect your home from severe winter weather
Winter weather can be severe, especially in New Jersey and New York. Below-freezing temperatures, snow, and wind storms, coupled with hail—we have it all. When the harsh winter weather rolls in, it brings peace of mind knowing that your home is protected with new windows. If your windows are already in poor condition, or you have concerns about their efficacy, it’s not worth the risk to wait until springtime to have them replaced.
Strong winds, hail, snow, and other debris can cause extensive damage to your home, especially if your windows are old or worn out. Replacing them with modern, updated windows can ensure they stand up to the extreme temperatures and conditions of winter.
3. Book your installation on your timeline
Because so few people think of making exterior home improvements during winter, it’s a great time to plan an installation. Demand is lower, so availability is higher, and you’ll be able to schedule your appointment for a time that works best for you. Also, if inclement weather, like a snow or ice storm, occurs on your installation day, there is a lot more flexibility when rescheduling your installation.
4. Reduce condensation and other moisture issues
From condensation and snow to rain and hail, winter weather brings a lot of moisture. Another benefit of replacing windows in the winter is that new windows can help minimize condensation and other moisture issues inside your home. Drafty or leaky windows can cause major issues if left unchecked—they can lead to mold, mildew, and even structural problems down the road if not managed in a timely manner.
Installing new windows ensures that windows will be neither drafty nor leaky, minimizing any moisture issues during winter and beyond.
5. Get comfortable in your home
If there’s one thing winters in New Jersey and New York do, it’s make you realize how lovely it is to spend time in your own home. Whether having a movie night in the family room or reading a book in your living room, the last thing you want is an annoying draft ruining your cozy night. If you’re seated right next to a window that’s damaged or poorly sealed, you’ll quickly find your cozy nights frustrating and chilly.
Having your windows replaced during the winter will help reduce heat loss and air infiltration, eliminate drafts, and give you a chance to stay warm comfortably during the winter.
