The windows and doors on your home will
eventually wear out and need to be replaced. How
long they last can vary with some styles lasting
as long as ten to twenty years. Yet, your home
will actually tell you when it is ready for new
windows and doors by sending you clear signs they
are nearing the end of their useful life.

Sign 1 Your energy/hydro bills keep going up
and up. If you notice your energy/hydro bill is
increasing month after a month compared to the
same time last year, your windows and doors might
be to blame. Drafty doors and windows can
increase your energy/hydro bills by as much as
25!

Having new energy efficient doors and windows
installed will reduce your bills. Plus, as a
bonus, they can increase the value of your home
and could be a great selling point if you are
considering listing it on the market

Sign 2 There is sunlight coming in around doors
or windows. If you can see sunlight around the
frames of the doors or windows, this tells you
they were not sealed correctly when they were
installed. This could also indicate the weather
stripping or caulk needs replaced or the door or
window is starting to warp.

Depending on the age of the doors and windows,
you will want to have a professional help fix the
problems. For instance, it might require removing
the doors and windows and installing new frames
correctly. However, if this is the cause of the
problem, you may just want to upgrade to newer,
and more energy efficient ones instead.

Sign 3 The doors or windows are warped and
difficult to open or close. Warping is a common
problem from continued changes in temperatures
and moisture. Not only can it make it difficult
to open and close the doors and windows, but also
create small gaps and openings to allow heated or
cooled air to escape the home.

Sign 4 The doors or windows are broken or
damaged. If the glass is cracked, or the door
severely dented, or there are other signs of
damage from a severe storm, you will want to have
the affected doors and windows repaired or
replaced. Repairs are fine to do if you need to
replace the glass or to fix other minor problems.
But, if the problems are more extensive, you
could actually spend more on repairs than
replacing the door or window with a new one.

Sign 5 You are renovating the exterior of your
home. If you are having new siding installed or
painting the home a different color, you will not
want to overlook your doors and windows. They are
the most noticeable feature of your home. If they
are faded or dont match your new color scheme,
they will stand out.
