Window Myths Debunked: 3 Most Common Misconceptions

Considering window replacement but worried about things that could go wrong? Today, Renewal by Andersen® of Louisville/Lexington, a top window company, debunks some of the most common window myths to give you better peace of mind as you pursue the project.

Myth 1: The Best Time to Replace Your Windows Is Summer

It's true, summer is not a bad time to replace your windows. However, it's definitely not the only season that the project can be easily done. In fact, fall is another ideal time of year to tackle window replacement thanks to the relatively mild weather. A big advantage of getting replacement windows in the fall is that contractors tend to be less busy this time of year and might offer more competitive prices.

Myth 2: Replacing Windows Take a Long Time

In most cases, window replacement can be completed in a day or two, depending on the size of the home and number of windows being replaced. An experienced contractor will come with a team of skilled installers and will complete the job as efficiently as possible, ensuring your home isn't opened up to the elements a moment longer than necessary.

Myth 3: New Windows Won't Make a Big Difference in Your Home's Energy Efficiency

This is a big misconception. The right windows installed by an experienced contractor can make a huge difference in your monthly energy bills. Keep in mind that each climate zone has requirements for energy-efficient windows. Your contractor will be able to recommend the right windows for your local climate.
