It’s another windy, cold, and snowy night here in New England and you’re nestled in on your couch watching the latest binge-worthy series. Then you wonder “why do I need that extra blanket?” This could be the chill from older, drafty windows. As a result, you could be to make matters worse as that chill is costing you money!
Older windows tend to provide less insulation from winter’s cold (and summer’s heat) and no longer provide a tight seal, which creates those uncomfortable drafts.
Reduced Heating Costs
Most homeowners think of replacing older windows as a great way to add beauty and value to their home. But when we’re in the middle of winter, replacing old drafty windows is also a great way to create a more comfortable home, while saving money.
