With temperatures plummeting and snowflakes dancing through the air to pile on the ground, any drafty windows become immediately apparent. If cold gusts of wind slip through cracks around your windows, you can’t escape the cold even within your home and end up having to crank up the heat in order to reach some level of a comfortable temperature. Getting replacement windows may seem like a job that you just have to wait for the warmer months to have done. This isn’t true.

Replacement windows can be installed any time of the year, including in the winter. Many people worry that replacement windows won’t be installed correctly in winter due to how the chilly temperatures and snow may impact the products used to seal them in place. They also fear that the people they hire to do the job won’t be able to do it well, or that the process will be slow and leave the interior of their home exposed to outside elements for a long time. 

You needn’t fear these things for winter window replacement. Professionals will be able to do the job well with minimal exposure to the elements. Here’s what you need to know about replacing windows in the winter months. 

Energy Savings

If your windows are letting in drafts and you are having to turn up the thermostat and wear coats inside in order to keep your home at something of an acceptable temperature, this causes your energy bills to spike. Having those old or drafty windows replaced both increases the overall comfort level of your home and saves you money on your energy bills. 

You don’t want to go the entire winter dealing with an issue that is easily fixed with replacement windows. Having your windows replaced when they need it will lower your energy expenses and keep you cozy even if it blizzards outside. 

Easier To Schedule

Because everyone tries to get replacement windows during the spring and summer, this means that there is a much lower demand for this service during the winter months. While in spring and summer, you may find yourself waiting weeks in order to get your windows replaced, in the winter months, it is much easier to schedule window replacement, since the demand is so much lower. 

Additionally, since this service is less sought after in the winter, many professionals offer discounts and savings for those who do schedule replacement window installations. You’ll want to ask the professionals you hire about any potential savings. 

Products Designed For The Cold

A common fear about winter window replacement is that the sealant won’t be able to set and that the new windows won’t be able to properly insulate your home. While understandable, this isn’t true, as there are products specially designed in order to be able to function regardless of temperature. Because of products made to withstand the cold, replacement windows are a feasible and beneficial job to have done in the winter. 

Minimal Heat Loss

The process of winter window installation is structured around ensuring that your home suffers as little heat loss during the job as possible. Professionals do this by working one window at a time and closing off the room they are working in, to keep the cold air contained. They often use two people to do the job, one inside and one outside, to ensure that the replacement windows adhere properly to their frame and that as little snow and wet is tracked inside your home as possible. 

Thorough Installation

Because professionals work one window at a time during the winter, this ensures that each replacement window is installed thoroughly and properly. With all their attention focused on one window at a time, you can rest assured that your winter window replacement will be worth the investment.
