What if I’m now seeing water on my window seals and even on the walls and floors around my windows? In short, there could be many problems, many of these may be beyond the scope of repair or may be nearly the cost of a replacement window. Now may be a great time to get a quote and look at your options. If you’re calling a window expert to come look  at the window for repairs, expect them to offer to replace the window as their first recommendation. This is not necessarily a negative thing.

Windows that begin to leak are often suffering from other failures and the windows are likely aged or were cheaply produced. If there is no manufacturer warranty covering the windows, you may find replacing one or two windows at a time a reasonable resolution to your circumstances. Repairing the window, however, may be more costly than helpful. As the repair occurs, additional damage can be caused inadvertently to parts that had been at the brink of failure already. The effectiveness of the window to insulate you’re home, is also likely to be sacrificed even after the window is repaired.

Many times a window repair project can come as a surprise and you simply haven’t budgeted thousands of dollars needed to replace all the windows in your home. Most window companies are much more cooperative with smaller sized projects to be performed in stages than they may have been previously. As the market and business has changed over the years, smaller 1-2 window projects are becoming more common. Some consumers, however, haven’t really recognized that this is a option and recognize it may be a great way to start saving on their energy bills even if it’s only by a small percentage.

Looking for a repair?

It’s important to consider that many window repairs involve parts that may be difficult to come by, depending on the window manufacturer. In addition, it’s most common to have window parts break late in the window’s life cycle.

New vinyl windows can often feature at least 30 year lifespan, but older windows didn’t have the durability you’ll find common in windows today. If you’re in need of repair, it may be a good time to look at the cost of replacing the window with a newer efficient window. In fact, it may be a good time to consider several new windows or even replacing all those worn out money sponges throughout your home.

If new replacement windows aren’t a option, searching for your manufacturer’s website will yield your best chance of finding replacement parts. Many can be installed by a handy man or anyone handy with some tools and possibly directions that may come with the part.

We’re excited to say that we’re starting to see the window industry and the weather starting to heat up. As the busy season approaches. We want to remind you, that if you’re planning to purchase windows in 2010, now is the time to get serious!

In 2009, Denver window companies received a influx of interest late in the year. People wanted to get their hands on the $1,500 tax credit that was available, and had to get their windows installed before the year ended. For many, waiting too long to talk to a window company resulting in missing the opportunity to get in on the credits for 2009.

If you’re thinking of buying new replacement windows, denver area residents should move quickly! This year, many companies are predicting a 2-3 month wait for windows to be installed. This could easily be longer. Don’t wait and miss this opportunity request a quote to speak with a industry expert today!

We’re nearing the end of the winter season and transitioning into the summer months. What better time to reflect upon that magical combination of SHGC and southern facing windows and how a proper selection of window could have actually generated heat for your home all winter long. The matter of fact is that there is a sort of harmony where a window is actually generating more heat than it’s releasing during the winter month. How this effect is generated is a bit beyond the scope of this post but I’ll cover the basics for you below.

First, SHGC or (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) is a important measurement displayed on the Manufacturer rating system. It’s purpose is to measure the heat transmitted from the sun blocked by the windows.

For cold weather climates where temperatures fall low enough, the SHGC for southern facing windows can actually best perform if it’s not at it’s lowest values. A low SHGC, where very little solar heat is transfered through the window would be a .30. A higher SHGC, where more heat is permitted through the window might be .50.

Our northern neighbors have a easier time determining when a SHGC should be higher or lower for the best energy efficient windows. The increased time during colder temperatures increases the significant changes a high SHGC can provide. In Colorado, this becomes more varied since your home may be too hot during fall and spring when a south facing window permits a lot of heat into the home that then must be cooled.

If you’re buying. A higher SHGC without sacrificing your U-value for southern windows should improve your energy savings over a low SHGC window. Consider a .50 SHGC or slightly higher effective at generating heat for your home in the window while maintaining a minimal difference. With a higher SGHC, during summer months you’ll pay a slightly higher cooling bill to offset the additional heat permitted to radiate through your window. The extra cooling costs in the sumer will be outweighed by the savings to heat your home in the winter.

For north facing windows, the SHGC rating of those windows isn’t worth worrying about as much. If you’ll be buying a different glazing or option for windows on different sides of your home you’re likely to save money by having a higher SHGC on northern windows. A higher SHGC is neither harmful or helpful for northern windows. Overall buy the northern windows according to what price will make the most sense.
