There’s More to Energy Swing Than Our Name
When it’s time to replace windows and you hear the name Energy Swing, what comes to mind? Beautiful, energy efficient, easy to clean replacement windows, of course! And if you’re familiar with our brand, you know we are the most referred window replacement company in Western PA, and that we deliver the best replacement window experience possible.
But let’s be honest; energy efficiency is not always your first concern. If you are like many homeowners, you may decide the time is right for new windows when your old ones deteriorate, the glass breaks, they become hard to clean, and your neighbors take notice. While energy efficient windows are so important that the idea itself is in our name, we know it may not be the first thing on your mind.
Let’s take a look at a few of the practical realities that help homeowners decide the time to replace their windows has arrived.
Replace Windows due to Deterioration and Glass Failure
Over time, windows endure a lot of wear and tear from exposure to the elements, daily use, and even accidental damage.
Rotted or warped frames are a common problem, especially with wooden window frames. Moisture infiltration can cause these frames to rot and warp, affecting the window’s structural integrity. Peeling paint and visible cracks in the window frame are clear indicators that your windows have seen better days.
Another issue is condensation and fogging. When the seals of double or triple-pane windows fail, condensation can form between the panes, causing fogging and obstructing the view. When this happens, the window’s insulating properties are compromised, leading to higher energy costs.
Of course, cracked or shattered glass can occur due to accidents (and even extreme weather). Broken glass presents both safety and security concerns.
Replace Windows due to Operational Issues
As windows age, they often become difficult to operate. This can be due to things such as warped frames, faulty hardware, or accumulated dirt and debris that hinder smooth movement. Windows that don’t open or close properly can be frustrating and inconvenient, making everyday tasks more challenging.
One significant problem is the difficulty in cleaning old windows. Traditional windows often require extensive effort to clean, especially if they are stuck or jammed. Struggling to reach all surfaces, particularly in multi-story homes, can turn window cleaning into a cumbersome chore. This can lead to neglected windows, reducing both their functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Energy Swing Windows are specifically designed to address these issues and make cleaning a breeze. Our windows have user-friendly features that allow them to swing inwards, providing easy access to both the interior and exterior surfaces. With Energy Swing Windows, you can clean effortlessly from inside your home, without the need for ladders or special tools.
Replace Windows due to Outdated Appearance
Over time, windows can become worn and outdated, making your entire house appear neglected and old-fashioned. The appearance of your home is a matter of pride, and outdated windows can detract from that. One reason homeowners often “pull the trigger” on buying new windows is to update the look of their home both inside and out.
The frames may be chipped, faded, or peeling, while the frames are discolored and the glass has become foggy. These visual imperfections can impact the overall curb appeal of your home, giving it a tired and worn-out look.
Replacing outdated windows with new, stylish ones from Energy Swing Windows can dramatically transform the look of your home. Our windows are available in a variety of modern styles and finishes and they are designed to provide long-lasting beauty and functionality, ensuring that your home looks its best for many years to come.
Replace Windows due to Leaks and Energy Inefficiency
Even when it comes to Energy Inefficiency, you may not think of it in those words! What you experience are the leaks in winter, the excess heat in summer, and the fact that your heating and cooling bill keeps going up.
Older windows often lack the insulating properties of modern designs. This not only makes it harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature but also puts strain on your HVAC system. You may notice cold spots near windows, condensation buildup, or excessive noise from outside, all signs of poor insulation.
Replacing outdated, inefficient windows with energy-efficient ones from Energy Swing Windows can make a significant difference. Our windows are designed with advanced materials and construction techniques that provide superior insulation and reduce energy loss. Features such as double or triple-pane glass, low-E coatings, and insulated frames work together to create a barrier against temperature fluctuations, helping to keep your home comfortable year-round.
