Better Energy EfficiencyHave you noticed drafts around your windows? Do you seem to turn up the thermostat day after day without really warming things up? If so, older or poorly installed windows could be to blame. As window frames age, they often expand, contract, or warp. These hard-to-see deformities create gaps that let air escape, making your home less comfortable and your HVAC system work harder.By replacing your windows, you\u2019ll reduce air leak and find it much easier to maintain a consistent temperature from the coldest New Jersey winters to the blazing heat of summer. That translates to lower utility bills all year long.2.) A More Secure HomeYour doors aren\u2019t the only component keeping your home safe. Windows that shut securely and lock tight help keep intruders away as well. If you\u2019re not sure about the security of your current windows, ask yourself:Are the latches sticky or broken?Is it hard or impossible to open and close the windows?Do windows stick or catch in their tracks?Do windows slide or swing shut when they\u2019re open?If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it\u2019s time to get new windows.
