Fall lets us know that colder temperatures are on the way, and it’s an ideal time to find and fix any drafty windows in your home. Whether you need replacement windows or window repairs, a professional from Economy Glass & Window in Cincinnati can help you find a cost-effective solution.

You should consider these factors when making a decision between replacement windows or window repairs.

How Old Are Your Windows?

If your home’s windows are older aluminum or wood windows, it could benefit you to upgrade them to newer, energy-efficient replacement windows. Older windows tend to leave small cracks that cause chilly drafts. Advancements in technology mean that today’s windows can reflect harmful UV rays and heat, provide better insulation, and won’t break or leak air as easily as older models. On the other hand, if your windows are relatively new, a repair might be possible and more affordable.

How Strong Is The Draft?

A window repair professional can often fix small drafts by replacing broken parts or caulking and weather stripping your existing windows. If the draft you’re experiencing is severe or comes from more than one window, there could be rot or other damage that facilitates replacement windows.

Does Curb Appeal Matter To You?

If you’re thinking of selling your home soon, a facelift with new windows could increase the value of your property. New homebuyers are often willing to pay more for homes that have quality windows that improve appearance while also lowering utility costs. Replacement windows come in a variety of styles, designs, and materials.

Replacement Windows Are Easy To Operate

Have you ever struggled to lift an old window? Replacement windows have the advantage of improving operation and function, opening and closing with ease. Many windows open outward while others slide up and down. Either way, they’re designed to allow outdoor air into your home only when you desire it.
