NEW WINDOWS Having new windows installed in your home is quite the undertaking and if you’re planning on selling your home in the next few years, they could add to the value of your home. Even if you’re planning to stay, having energy efficient windows can help your home be more comfortable, quiet and boost curb appeal. If your windows are currently performing just fine, there might not be a need to upgrade, but if you’re finding they’re drafty, difficult to open and close, constantly filled with condensation and/or fogging up, it might be time to consider replacing them. Also, if the frame or seals are damaged or breaking down, it might be time for a new window. As with any major home renovation, there are many companies that specialize in replacing windows, so shop around to find one that can meet your needs, timeline and budget. It’s not recommended you DIY a window replacement, but it is possible if you have the correct skills. The more windows you replace at once, the less you’ll pay on the labour side of things if you use a professional installer, so be sure to thoroughly inspect all of your windows to see if there could be issues down the road and if it would perhaps be more beneficial to replace them now than in a few years. Dual or triple pane windows are popular as they will help keep the cold air out in the winter and the heat out in the summer. This in turn will help your home be more energy efficient and keep your energy bills lower.
