Welcome to our Window Resource FAQ page! Here, we answer the most common questions about window replacement, installation, energy efficiency, and maintenance to help you make informed decisions for your home.

Common Questions

You might need new windows if you notice drafts, condensation between glass panes, difficulty opening or closing, rotting frames, or rising energy bills. Aging windows (typically 15–20 years old) may also be less efficient and could benefit from replacement.

Energy-efficient windows often include double- or triple-pane glass with low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, gas fills like argon or krypton, and insulated frames made from materials like vinyl, fiberglass, or composite. Look for the ENERGY STAR® label for certified efficiency.

  • Single-pane: One layer of glass, least energy-efficient.
  • Double-pane: Two layers with a gas fill in between, better insulation and energy savings.
  • Triple-pane: Three layers, highest insulation, ideal for extreme climates.

Yes. Modern, energy-efficient windows reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, improving insulation. This can lower heating and cooling costs, often resulting in noticeable monthly savings.

  • Vinyl: Low maintenance, cost-effective, good insulation.

  • Wood: Traditional look, great insulation, needs maintenance.

  • Fiberglass: Durable, energy-efficient, low maintenance.

  • Aluminum: Strong and lightweight, but less insulating unless thermally broken.

Measure both width and height of the existing window opening (inside the frame) at three points each. Use the smallest measurement for ordering new windows. It’s best to leave measurement to professional installers to ensure a perfect fit.

Yes. Window replacement can be done in colder months, though it may take slightly longer to prevent drafts. Modern installation techniques and energy-efficient windows ensure comfort during winter projects.

New windows are generally low-maintenance. Regular cleaning, checking for condensation or seal failure, and lubricating moving parts will keep them functioning well. Wood frames may need occasional repainting or sealing.

Costs vary based on window type, size, frame material, and installation complexity. Custom or energy-efficient models may cost more.
