What to Know About Replacing Windows in Your Home this Winter

Posted on | by nwfam

The winter season in Colorado may be a great time to replace your windows in your home. While replacing your windows during the colder months may send some shivers up your spine, it does depend on several factors, including the climate, the type of window replacement, and your specific circumstances. There are many advantages of replacing your windows this winter and could be the right time for window replacement for your home.

Often people think of replacing their windows when the cold weather starts leaking into their homes, and higher power bills start increasing due to energy inefficiency.

Window Inspection

Contact the team at New Windows for America to inspect your windows to see if they need replacement. If you have unreasonable drafts, we can use a non-contact infrared thermometer to measure the ambient air temperatures around the windows and door frame. If there is excessive cold air leaking into your home, it will be recorded on the thermometer making it an easy decision to start the window replacement process.

Weather Conditions

Although the Colorado winter can be a challenging time for window replacement due to cold temperatures, snow, and ice, we have over 25 years of experience in replacing windows quickly and efficiently. Our professional installation crew can perform window replacements easily during the winter months.

Energy Efficiency

When thinking about the future energy efficiency of your windows, it is important to take into consideration our climate and the region where we live. The U.S. Department of Energy suggests windows with both the correct solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) ratings (as needed in your climate) and low U-factors. The U-factor measures the rate of heat transfer and tells you how well the window insulates.  New windows can improve the energy efficiency of your home by reducing drafts and heat loss. If your existing windows are in poor condition and let in cold air, replacing them in the winter can help you save on heating costs.

Scheduling and Availability

Our team has 25+ years of experience to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible. We are typically 8-10 weeks from the time of ordering your windows to installation, and we will work with you to find a time that is convenient for your schedule.

Window Removal and Installation

The process of removing old windows and installing new ones will temporarily expose your home to the cold. The experienced window installation team at New Windows for America manages this by sealing off the installation area and taking precautions to block and limit the cold air only to install the windows one room at a time. Closing interior doors will also help prevent cold air from flowing into your home. We will work swiftly to minimize the exposure, but it’s essential to understand that there will be a temporary drop in temperature.

Proper Sealing

The window installation team at New Windows for America will ensure that we seal the new windows immediately to prevent cold drafts and heat loss. This will help maintain a comfortable indoor environment.

Why Energy Efficient Windows are a Hot Topic in Colorado… and What You Can do to Cut Energy Costs

Posted on | by nwfam

Visitors to Colorado know us for our gorgeous scenery and friendly faces. If you have lived in Denver or Boulder for more than a few months, though, you probably understand our second reputation: the one for extreme and unpredictable weather.

That’s not always a bad thing, since it means you can enjoy golf, hiking, and skiing all in the same week. But, when it comes to your utility bills – especially for heating in the winter and air conditioning in the blazing summer months – it’s not all wonderful news. Those energy costs can really add up, and in the past few years, homeowners throughout Colorado have been looking for ways to save money and be more comfortable at the same time.

Here at New Windows for America, we are helping our customers throughout Denver, Boulder, and the Front Range to make their homes more energy-efficient. You can enjoy the savings, too, by making a few small investments around the home, such as:

Replacement windows. When you aren’t using modern, properly installed windows in your Colorado home, you literally let money fly out through the cracks. Given that they are so easy to upgrade – and that our replacement energy efficient windows come with free installation and strong warranties – why wouldn’t you want to have the best and keep more cash in your own pocket?

New doors. Next to the windows, doors are the most common culprits for money-wasting inefficiency, as they can let lots of warm or cool air in and out of your house all year long. Besides being energy-efficient, new doors can give your home a new look and feel. To see the difference the right door can make, you just have to spend a few minutes looking through the hundreds of options we offer our customers.

Updated vinyl and steel siding. Not only can siding help reinforce your home’s insulation, but it can also add to its beauty and value while protecting you from the elements. If your siding has become worn – or you just think it’s time for a fresh color and/or style – now is the perfect time to visit New Windows for America and see our Denver home siding options.

High energy bills don’t have to stop you from enjoying life in Colorado and getting the most from your house. Why not talk with a member of our team today and see how easy it is to lower your monthly utility costs through replacement windows, doors, and home siding?
