5 clear signs it’s time for a change

Windows don’t last forever — and in places like Burlington and Stoney Creek, the weather can speed up wear and tear. But how do you know when it’s really time to replace them?

Here are the top signs to watch for:

1. Drafts or Cold Spots

If you feel air leaking around your windows — especially in winter — your insulation is failing. This drives up heating bills and affects comfort.

2. Condensation Between Panes

Moisture or fog between double or triple panes means the seal is broken. Once that happens, the glass loses its insulating ability.

3. Difficulty Opening or Closing

Wood frames can swell, and old hardware can jam. Sticking windows aren’t just annoying — they’re also a safety concern in emergencies.

4. Visible Rot or Damage

Peeling paint, soft wood, or rusted frames? These are clear signs of deterioration that can lead to bigger structural problems.

5. Rising Energy Bills

If your heating or cooling costs keep climbing, poor window performance could be to blame. Upgrading to energy-efficient models can save money long-term.
