Reasons Why Spring Is the Best Time for Window Replacement

One of the best things about window replacement is it can be done during any time of the year, even in the middle of the winter. If your windows are up for replacement, there are compelling reasons why you should get it done this spring. Read on as the local contractors at Acorn Home Improvements, Inc. share the reasons why.

It’s Not as Busy

Summer is the busiest season for contractors because the weather is generally favorable for installation and construction work. However, it’s not without its drawbacks. If you happen to hire a contractor who doesn’t account for project delays, they could get caught in a domino effect when one or more of their appointments are moved to a later date. Also, you may have a small pool of available contractors and installation dates to choose from if you try to schedule your window replacement late in the season.

Contrastingly, spring is far less busier and gives more slack for project delays. More window contractors would be available during this season, which means you’d be more likely to hire your first choice, at the date that’s most convenient. You’ll also have more time to choose among window replacement options.

Less Delays

In addition to the domino effect described above, window replacement projects can be delayed for a number of reasons during the busy seasons. Logistical issues may hold up delivery of replacement window units, and the permit application is usually slower because of the greater number of applicants. There is a lower risk of delays during spring because of the fewer projects being done at the same time.

Energy Savings

Window replacement can help address air leaks, which can help improve your home’s energy efficiency, which can help reduce your cooling costs as the months become warmer. When choosing replacement windows, make sure that they have the ENERGY STAR® certification label. You can also compare energy ratings if you need windows for specific conditions.
