Why Winter Is the Perfect Time to Upgrade Your Windows & Doors

By Manchester Millwork – Your Local Marvin Windows & Doors Provider

As Connecticut heads into another New England winter, homeowners start to notice the drafts, the cold spots, and the rising energy bills that come with older windows and doors. At Manchester Millwork, winter isn’t just a season — it’s a reminder of how much comfort, safety, and efficiency your home could have with the right updates.

If you’ve been thinking about replacing your windows or doors, here’s why winter is actually one of the best times to make the investment.

1. You Feel the Problems the Most in Cold Weather

In the summer, a drafty window is easy to ignore.
But in December? You feel it instantly.

Cold air sneaks in…
Warm air escapes…
Your thermostat works overtime…

Marvin windows are engineered specifically to eliminate drafts, improve insulation, and maintain a consistent indoor temperature. Upgrading now means you’ll feel the difference immediately.

2. Energy Savings Start Right Away

Heating a home in New England is no joke — and outdated windows and doors are responsible for up to 30% of heat loss.

With Marvin’s high-performance glass options and advanced frames, you’ll experience:

Lower heating bills
Better home comfort
Enhanced energy efficiency all winter long

Instead of waiting for spring, you can start saving money this season.

3. Modern Windows Transform Your Home’s Look and Feel

If your windows are:

Cloudy
Hard to open
Fading in color
Stuck or cracked

…it’s more than inconvenient — it affects your home’s curb appeal.

Marvin products are known for their clean lines, beautiful finishes, and timeless design. Whether your home is classic Connecticut Colonial or modern farmhouse, we help you choose the perfect custom fit.

4. Winter Installs Are Easier Than You Think

A lot of homeowners assume winter installation is messy or uncomfortable.
But with Manchester Millwork, that’s simply not the case.

Our team:

✔ Works room by room to keep your home warm
✔ Uses proven cold-weather installation methods
✔ Minimizes heat loss during swaps
✔ Ensures a tight, energy-efficient seal — even in low temps

New England weather doesn’t slow us down.

5. Elevate Safety & Security Before the New Year

Older windows and doors can be harder to lock, easier to breach, and less reliable during storms.

Upgrading gives you:

Stronger materials
Multi-point locking systems
Better insulation
Enhanced noise reduction

A safer, quieter, more protected home is a priceless investment — especially during the winter months when you spend more time indoors.

6. Increase Your Home Value

Homebuyers instantly notice new windows and doors.
Marvin’s long-standing reputation for craftsmanship and performance makes your home more appealing — and more valuable.

Even if you’re not planning to sell soon, this upgrade pays you back in comfort and resale power.
