Lot’s of Canadians always seem to hesitate when looking to purchase new windows in the winter months. We can understand why the cold temperatures and the early sundown might steer you away. There is a belief out there that replacing your windows in the winter can cause you more grief than reward, but this is most definitely not the case. As a matter of fact, there are actually added benefits to replacing your windows in the winter, but first lets start with the misconceptions that people have about going ahead with a winter install.
Misconception 1: Individuals tend to believe that a winter window installation won’t be as effective because the installers may feel rushed, or the sealants wont cure properly.
Truth: Our professionally trained installers always make sure they install the windows efficiently and never cut any corners, no matter the season! Our installation process for the most part remains the same, but added cautions are put into place to ensure that the installation procedure goes without an issue. We keep all of our sealants and tapes warm, as well as only replacing one window at a time! This allows everything to cure as usual, while letting out as little heat as possible during the install.
Misconception 2: There will be added heating and energy expenses from swapping the old windows out for the new, due to leaving the home open during the process.
Truth: When installing new PVC Windows in the winter, our installers take the necessary steps to ensure that these expenses are kept to an absolute minimum. We replace one window at a time and close the doors of the room we are working in. These two factors limit an excess amount of heat to leave the house during the installation process.
Misconception 3: Money and time is tight because it is around holiday season, so windows might have to wait.
Truth: Winter may be holiday season, but we offer some great winter deals! On top of the winter deals, we also offer many great financing options on approved credit. At the end of the day your old leaky windows will do far more damage over the course of a winter, than taking a day or two to install new, energy efficient PVC Windows! Another added benefit of a winter installation, is there is more schedule availability. We can work around your holidays and find a time that works, whether it be before of after!
The winter months are the months that having quality windows matters. If you don’t want to feel that cool draft while watching movies on the couch, or always feeling like you need to have the fire place on, then this winter might be the time to upgrade. Windows will let you know when their time is done, and usually you will notice condensation build up between the panes of glass, water build up, or even decaying wooden frames.
