With the warmer months just around the corner, now is a good idea to take stock of the windows in your house and make sure they are functioning at their peak. We have published an article on when it is time to replace your windows, which you can read here. And, if you find your windows do in fact need replacing, now is one of the best times to do it. Why? As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic means we have to stay indoors for the time being, which also means we want our homes to be as comfortable as possible. New windows not only ensure your home is as pleasant to be in as possible, but they can also help lower utility bills by ensuring your air conditioning unit is not working overtime. Air conditioning units work harder than they need to when you have improperly functioning windows, which can allow conditioned air to escape outside, and let outside air in.
