Knowing when to replace your home’s windows isn’t always as clear as it may seem. If your home is older than 15-18 years, it’s probably a good time to check your windows are still operating properly. Follow the tips below and see for yourself whether a window should be saved or thrown away.

The key signs that it’s time to replace windows include:

  • Old, single-pane glass
  • Moisture damage and rotting wood
  • Noticeable air leaks
  • Cracks in your sashes and sills
  • Condensation or fogging between glass panes
  • Excessive noise from outside
  • Windows or doors do not open and close easily
  • If window is painted shut
