Why Fall is A Great Time to Replace Your Windows

At Windows on Washington, we are often asked when the best time is to replace the windows of your home. Interestingly, most people assume Spring would be best – after all, it is called a “Spring Clean” for a reason! However, while technically there is no bad time to replace old windows with new ones, there is certainly an ideal period. In fact, Fall is one of the best times to consider window replacements, especially if you live in Maryland or Virginia. From great weather to oftentimes better deals, there are many reasons to consider replacing your windows in Fall. Check out WoW’s top 4 reasons for replacing your windows in Fall below.

1. Fall is the Ideal Weather 

Fall in Maryland and Virginia is essentially perfect weather for replacing windows. It is not too hot or cold, and the weather is typically mild, meaning your project will not be waylaid by rogue storms or natural events. Furthermore, extreme weather – such as extreme heat – can cause some issues with the sealant process, which is why the cooler Fall weather makes it an ideal time to replace windows.

2. The Right Timing 

This year the global pandemic has thrown a spanner in the works, so if you are hoping to have home improvements done to your home in time for the holidays, we advise getting started as soon as possible. There is an increased demand in home improvement work, and unfortunately this is causing a backlog for suppliers. Ultimately, this means projects are taking longer than normal to finish. 

3. Save Money 

As the months get cooler and you start heating your home to keep it comfortable, it is inevitable your utility bills will rise. However, by replacing old and drafty windows with new energy efficient ones in Fall, you won’t have to use so much power to heat your home in Winter, which will ultimately lower your bills at a time when they typically increase.

4. Get Your Home Ready for the Holidays 

Our last tip for why Fall is a great time to replace your windows is due to the upcoming holiday season. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner, so getting your home in tip-top shape before holidays arrive can save you a lot of stress. Even as we continue to socially distance, when you do have people around for the festive season, you want to ensure they are comfortable inside your home, and replacement windows are one of the best ways to add comfort to your home. Not to mention replacement windows can give your home a lift and brightness, increasing the overall feel and appeal of your home.
