How to Prepare Your Home for Summer with Windows
Summer Preparation with Window Repairs & Installations
While the summer months may not stick around WNY for long, the warm weather and temperature increases are sure to affect homeowners across the region. With average temperature heights reaching above 80° F and humidity levels sticking around 70%, many residents look for relief at nearby beaches and community pools. While these sources may be good for the short-term, it is possible to prepare your home through windows. Below, are a few window solutions
to consider as the peak of summer approaches.
Window Repairs
Unfortunately, over time windows are exposed to a variety of conditions outside. From the snowstorms off Lake Erie to large amounts of rain and wind, windows can become damaged and weathered. With 24/7 access to outside forces, your windows can experience rotted frames, cracked glass and/or damaged window seals. Whether we realize it or not, any instability in your windows system can further change your home's internal temperature. Through a high-quality window repair, any previously damaged pieces of your window can be restored leaving behind a barrier of protection from the sun. Additionally, repairs further increase the energy-efficiency of your home, in turn lowering energy bills and ensuring better ventilation.
Window Installations
On average, the lifespan of windows can reach 30+ years. No matter the number of repairs or type of windows, you may need to begin considering new windows. Through a replacement or installation, the windows can be accurately measured and outfitted to match the specifications of your home. This process ensures that your new windows are tightly sealed, providing protection from the outside warm air, while trapping all cool air inside. This energy-efficient solution is an investment for homeowners, but in the long-term utility bills will begin to decline.
