There are many reasons why homeowners replace their home windows with newer ones, but one thing for certain, replacing old windows always increases the value of the house and gives it a fresh new look and curb appeal.

Windows, like everything else, can live and serve their purpose for a certain period of time, after that, they should be replaced with new ones, in order to, at least, conserve energy and install more eco-friendly ones.

Most times, a window can be repaired instead of replaced. For example, when a window is broken, the glass can be replaced. However, if a window is leaking, it could be because it wasn’t installed properly, and might just need to be re-installed and sealed properly.

In cases where windows no longer close or open, a replacement should be taking place. Moreover, windows are usually responsible for around 25 percent of lost energy within a house. Sometimes, this problem can be solved by making minor modifications, like adding weatherstripping or installing storm windows. But if a homeowner wants to solve this problem once and for all, replacing old windows with ones that are more energy efficient is strongly advised.

There is no fixed number years for which a window can last, for that depends on a number of factors, such as the materials of which the windows are made, the age of the house, the state of the walls and units surrounding the windows.

Most window manufacturers state that a window lasts a lifetime. It is important to note, though, that a window’s ‘lifetime’ usually lasts for 25 years. Although there are cases where windows can last for longer than that, with the appropriate care and maintenance.

In some cases, however, window installations need to be redone every five years, because the wood that is surrounding the window has rotten. It is worth noting that, on the other hand, vinyl windows are known for being the most durable and age-resistant windows.
