If you’re in need of a window replacement on your home, you may be wondering what time of year is best to install your new windows. Is it during the summer in the sweltering heat? Or perhaps during the winter, when you allow in the cold. Take a look at our blog to learn which season is the best for replacing your home’s windows.
Spring Window Replacement
The first season that comes to mind when homeowners consider replacing their windows is the springtime. After their home has thawed out, there are many homeowners who are looking to make repairs on their home that they noticed during the winter. This can make it difficult to find a contractor who has time to replace your home’s windows during the springtime. It can also drive up the cost as contractors have less time to complete the work and prices go up accordingly.
Summer Window Replacement
The summer can be a difficult time to replace a window because the humidity and heat can make your window frames expand and warp, making it a challenge to fit the window in the frame correctly. If you plan on replacing your home’s windows in the summer, replace them during the cooler months, towards the end of August and September. If you do decide on a summer window replacement, also keep in mind that bugs will be able to fly into your home during the replacement process.
Fall Window Replacement
One of the best seasons to replace your home’s windows is the fall. The weather is temperate, meaning it will be mild enough to not lead to major energy loss while the windows are being replaced. Replacing them in the fall will also help you identify any leaks or drafts that may be present in the window frames. The fall is also the tail-end of the busy season, meaning you may have an easier time booking an appointment in the fall than you would’ve in spring or early summer.
Winter Window Replacement
Finally, some homeowners choose to replace their home’s windows during the winter due to the ease of finding a contractor who has time for the work. While the energy loss can be significant, there will be no issues with the frames of the windows being too warped to install the windows, leading to an easy installation. You will also have no issues finding a contractor who has time for your project! It is also possible that you will be able to find a lower rate during the slow season than you would during the busier months.
When it comes to replacing your windows, fall is typically the best season. The weather is temperate and comfortable, the busy season is winding down, and you will be able to more easily identify air leaks. However, you can truly replace your windows at any time. You will likely face the longest wait during the spring, which is when most homeowners have identified issues with their homes during the winter months. It is also possible that a window replacement during the middle of the summer may cause issues if the humidity has warped your window frames.
