There are a number of options out there for you if you’re looking to a repair a broken or warped window. Minor issues can be repaired by applying weatherstripping or other hardware that can seal cracks. However, if your home has seen a significant amount of damage, in may be worth it to replace your window entirely, instead of worrying about whether or not your quick fix is holding up. Even if you’re able to stop a draft or prevent leaking air for the moment, the issue will almost always return as weatherstrips wear down. If you notice that these issues persist, you should start looking for a replacement window.
Your energy bills are high
High energy bills could be caused by any number of things including an outdated HVAC system, a broken thermostat, a dirty air filter, and more. However, one of the most likely culprits of this is a leaky window that does little to help you maintain indoor air temperature. In the winter, windows provide heat by allowing sunlight in and keeping cold air out. In the summer, windows will help you keep that precious air conditioning inside the home. According to Energy.gov, drafty windows can result in a 10 to 25 percent increase in your energy bill. And if you’re getting ready to sell your home, there’s nothing worse than having to admit that your energy bills have been steadily increasing for years.
