How to Know It’s Time to Replace Your Windows

Your windows do more than let in light—they protect your home, boost energy efficiency, and enhance your curb appeal. But over time, even the highest-quality windows can begin to fail. If you’re starting to notice drafts, rising energy bills, or difficulty opening and closing your windows, it might be time for a replacement.

At Manchester Millwork, we’ve been helping homeowners, contractors, and builders throughout Connecticut since 1989. As a proud supplier of Marvin Windows and Doors, we specialize in high-quality window replacement and millwork services that stand the test of time.

Here are a few telltale signs it’s time to upgrade your windows:

1. Drafts or Leaks Around the Frame

If you feel cold air seeping in during winter or notice moisture gathering around your window frames, your seals may be compromised. Drafty windows drive up energy costs and reduce home comfort.

2. Rising Energy Bills

Older windows—especially those with single-pane glass—can’t compete with the energy efficiency of today’s models. Replacing them with Marvin’s high-performance options can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs.

3. Foggy Glass or Condensation Between Panes

Double- and triple-pane windows can develop condensation if the seal between the panes breaks. This is a clear indicator of insulation failure and means it’s time to replace.

4. Hard to Open or Close

Windows should glide smoothly. If you’re forcing them open or they’re painted shut, it could be due to warping, swelling, or frame damage.

5. Visible Damage or Decay

Cracked glass, rotting wood, or warped frames can lead to leaks, poor insulation, and security issues. Replacing damaged windows protects your home and restores its beauty.
