• Improved Energy-Efficiency

One of the main reasons to replace windows and doors in the winter is improved energy-efficiency. If your windows are older or damaged, they may release heat from inside your home, leading to higher hydro bills. Replacing old windows with newer, more energy-efficient ones will help keep warm air in and cold air out, saving you money.

• Reduced Condensation and Other Moisture Issues

Another benefit of replacing windows and doors in the winter is that this can help reduce condensation and other moisture issues inside your home. Drafty or leaky windows can cause mold, mildew, and greater structural problems if left unchecked.

• Better Protection From the Elements

In addition to improved energy-efficiency and reduced moisture issues, replacing your windows and doors in the winter can also help protect against harsh weather conditions. Winter storms often bring strong winds, rain, snow, and other debris that can cause real damage to old or worn-out windows. Modern models are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and conditions, so they’ll last longer and keep you safe.

• Greater Scheduling Availability

Since most construction slows down during this season, you’ll have a better chance of scheduling your window or door replacement for exactly when you want it.

Winter is the perfect time if you’re thinking about replacing your windows or doors. You’ll enjoy improved energy efficiency, reduced moisture issues, and better protection from the elements.

How Frost Forms on Your Windows

Frost forms on windows when the moist air on the inside is exposed to cold air on the outside. Moisture (or water vapor) is attracted to the windowpane, and when the outside surface temperature lowers past the dew point, that water vapor solidifies into liquid. This then freezes into ice crystals and forms frost.

If left unaddressed, the frost and ice buildup on your windows can cause several problems such as:

• Heat Loss – If the inside of the glass pane is frozen, then your window has lost its thermal protection. This means it won’t be able to retain the heat from your home.

• Mold – When the frost melts, the water can begin to crack the paint, rot the frame (if you have wood windows), and cause mold and mildew to grow around your windows.

• Higher Energy Bills – This is due to your HVAC working harder to replace the escaping heat and keep indoor temperatures comfortable.

Preventing Your Windows From Freezing Up

If you have single-pane windows installed at home, have them replaced with double- or triple-paned windows by a trusted window contractor. Air or gas is sandwiched between the panes of glass which act as a thermal barrier to slow the heat transfer.

Consider getting a space heater for a room that’s prone to collecting frost on windows to keep it within comfortable temperatures. This also prevents frost from forming even during nighttime. Making use of a dehumidifier also keeps the indoor air from being too humid, which reduces the chances of frost from forming on your windows.

Replacing All at Once Vs. Replacing a Few at a Time

There’s nothing wrong with prioritizing damaged windows and leaving other windows in better condition for next time — especially when budget is the issue. However, before you say no to changing all your windows at once, ensure that you have compared quotes from a number of reputable companies.

One contractor may give you a huge estimate, while another might be able to give you a more reasonable price or an amount that you can afford. You might want to check the financing options for their replacement windows as well.

Additionally, you should consider the cost of labor. Some contractors may charge more for small projects, so you might be able to get more value for your money when you replace five or more windows.

What to Consider When Doing Partial Window Replacement

If you have finally decided against replacing all your windows in one go, there are a few things you should keep in mind to minimize hassle and help you manage your expectations.

1. New windows will naturally look and operate differently from your old windows. Some homeowners are bothered by this because the windows don’t match or feel the same.
2. Replacing windows at multiple phases means dealing with your contractor for an extended period.
3. Your contractor may not be able to guarantee the same pricing if you choose to replace the other windows at a later time. In one or two years, you may be dealing with higher costs.
