It’s springtime, but many homeowners are banking on summer window installations and repairs. Whether you’re fixing the house, replacing the windows or simply want window-based upgrades, the seasons matter. Winter and summer installations offer several similarities, but summer packs a number of pros and cons. Before getting a window replacement job, make sure you know the ins and outs of seasonal changes.
When the Weather is Warm
In general, replacing windows when it’s warm outside benefits the installation process. If you’re replacing multiple windows, warm weather can make a huge difference. Warm exterior weather can keep unwanted cold drafts from reaching your interior.
Be Careful: Sometimes, It’s Too Hot
While replacing your windows during summertime yields benefits, be careful that it’s not too hot. If the weather is too hot, excess heat may boost your utility bill. If you’re dedicated to replacing your windows during summertime, make sure the installation room’s door is closed.
Be Mindful of Delays
You should also understand the ins and outs of installation delays. Summertime, often, brings thunderstorms. Bad weather can delay window installations. Even worse: It can result in humidity, mold and mildew problems.
Are Post-Winter Windows a Problem?
Sometimes, cold months create structural problems in windows. The first weeks in spring, right after the cold weather has passed, are fantastic for spotting such issues.
When the weather gets warm, glass expands. Often, homeowners identify previously existing problems during this period. If your window has any cracks, warped surfaces or deeper structural integrity issues, the warm season may be your best friend.
So, What’s the Verdict?
If you’re installing, repairing or replacing one or two windows—summertime might spare your power bill. If you’re intending to overhaul your home with a window renovation, however, you might want to wait.
Schedule your window installations in the colder months. You might even snag an “off season” installation deal. If you’re trying to install your windows cheaply, settling for colder months might be your best bet.
