When your broken and leaky windows just aren’t keeping your home warm, it might feel like all hope is lost. Window installation is a warm weather job, right?

Think again.

Window companies can provide window installation services in the Winter; they will just need to take a different approach. Prompt window replacement will keep your home comfortable at last, protecting your family all season long.

How do window companies install windows when it is cold outside?
During the Spring and Summer, leaving a momentary opening in the side of your home might not be a big deal. In fact, it might actually be welcome. But in the Winter, professional window installers will take a different approach. The following are some of the best practices that companies will follow to keep your home as comfortable as possible during installation.

  • One At A Time: One of the best ways to prevent excess air leaks is to only replace one window at a time. Your professional will likely focus on installing one window as quickly as possible before moving on to the next.
  • Tarps And More Tarps: Your window professional will likely use plastic tarps and barriers to seal off any large openings in the side of your home. These will also be necessary to place on your floor, as workers can easily track mud and snow inside.
  • Closed Openings : Since there is a large opening where your new window will be, installers will keep all other doors and windows shut. This is important even when they are moving in and out of your home.
  • Low Temp Materials: Certain insulation foam and caulk are better suited for colder temperatures. Ask your window company if they have these materials and how you can best help them set in the cold.

By scheduling window installation services in the Winter, you can enjoy more open booking since this time of year is likely not as busy for window companies. You can also enjoy the benefits of brand new windows right away, keeping your home warm throughout this chilly season. About 45% of your energy bill goes toward heating, and it pays to optimize this energy all season long. Your new windows can do this.
