Window replacement is always a smart move if you are looking to save money on your energy bill. Over the course of many years while living in your home, you may notice that your windows will start to look old and worn out. Windows are now designed with much better insulation, which will keep more heat inside your home during the harsh winter weather and more cool air inside during the hot summer months. This will lead to reduced use of your heating and cooling units. Replacing a window in Geneva or Batavia, Illinois, can cost you a pretty penny, but you will make your money back on the energy savings.

Repairing a window in Geneva or Batavia by sealing up the air leaks can save you money in the short term and the long term. Here are a few tips that will help you decide between replacing a window or repairing a window in Geneva or Batavia:

1. Rotting wood: When wooden frames start to rot, they allow rain water and dust to enter your home. Rotten wood on the frames requires removing the window and rebuilding the frame. You can repair it if the damage is not too bad, but window replacement is often the best route in this scenario because frames can become thoroughly rotten quickly.

2. Broken window panes: When window panes start to get scratched and cracked, they are beginning to break and you should act immediately. One affordable option is vinyl windows for window replacement. Since installing the glass itself is the highest cost, you might want to use aluminum or multiplane custom windows.

3. If you have broken seals, condensation will start to build up between window panes. Window repair is the best option in this scenario because installing a new seal is an easy and quick repair that preserves the frame.

4. Difficult windows: Windows will not open properly if the window has become defective. Repairing a defective window can be better than window replacement, unless the replacement parts for the old window are very hard to find.

5. Drafty windows let air gush in and out of gaps and frames. Repairing the gaps and frames can be the better route to go in this scenario because you will save more money on energy bills.
