HIGH ENERGY BILLSIf your windows are old and inefficient, they

could be letting heat seep in and out of your

home, driving up heating and cooling costs.

HARD TO OPEN & CLOSEWindows can shift or accumulate dirt and debris

over time, making them difficult to open and close.

Today’s windows are designed to be extremely easy

to open and close.

INDOOR DRAFTSIf your house is well sealed and insulated and you’re

still feeling drafts, your windows may be poorly

sealed or improperly installed.

CONDENSATIONIf your windows aren’t sufficiently keeping the

winter cold out, condensation will occur when

indoor moisture hits the cold inside window

surface. Condensation may also accumulate

between panes if a window has lost its seal.

OUTSIDE NOISEWell designed windows have multiple panes

and insulating gas for added efficiency and

sound protection. If you’re hearing a lot of

outside noise, your windows may be poorly

sealed or improperly installed.
