Summer is here! Replacing your doors and windows

Are you looking to save on your energy bills?

With summer weather right around the corner, it's essential to be energy-efficient to save on your home's cooling costs.

So what can you do? A simple replacement of your windows and doors could help you save more in the long run. According to Energy Star, replacing single-pane windows could save you up to $465 a year on your energy bills - a worthy investment for any homeowner.


Here are some basic tips to help you know when it's time to replace your doors or windows -

1. Does it look damaged? If the surrounding area looks damaged - peeling/flaking paint, water stains, etc. - it could be time to replace your door/window. These could be signs your windows or doors are allowing too much moisture to pass through - a true sign your windows or doors need replaced.

2. Is your door/window difficult to open? Maybe your door/window is difficult to open, or perhaps it's difficult to keep open. Both could be signs you need a replacement. Difficult-to-open or stay-open doors and windows allow air to easily pass through, costing you on your energy bills each month.

3. Is your carpet or furniture looking faded? This could be another sign your windows need replaced. If your carpet or furniture look faded, it could mean your windows are allowing too much ultraviolet rays into your home. Switching to more energy-efficient windows could help you save your carpet or furniture - and your energy bills, too.
