What to Know Before You Replace Your Windows

Replacing your windows is a smart investment — especially in Burlington, where weather conditions can swing from icy winds to humid summers. Whether you’re upgrading for energy savings or curb appeal, these tips will help you make the right choice.

Start with a Window Inspection

– 🔍 Check for condensation between glass panes (a sign of seal failure)
– 🪟 Look for warped frames, peeling paint, or difficulty opening
– 💨 Feel around the edges for drafts — they add up on your utility bill

Know Your Window Types

– 📐 Casement windows are great for ventilation
– 🪟 Slider windows are easy to maintain and ideal for wide openings
– 🧊 Fixed/picture windows offer light and insulation but don’t open

Pick the style that fits both your home’s look and function.

Choose Energy-Efficient Options

– 🌿 Look for ENERGY STAR®-rated products
– ☀️ Low-E glass helps block summer heat and winter cold
– 🛡️ Triple-pane options improve insulation and noise reduction

Energy-efficient windows make a noticeable difference in Burlington’s changing seasons.

Plan for Installation Timing

– 📅 Spring and early fall are ideal for replacements
– 🚧 Professional installation ensures airtight fit and long-term performance
– 💬 Ask about cleanup, timelines, and warranty details before committing

Good installation is just as important as the window itself.
