Why Consider Window Replacement?

Most of us love our windows. We love the natural light. We love being able to let in fresh air or keep out noise. We love the way that our windows make our property look.

But your windows will not last forever. Most older windows had only a 15 year estimated lifespan, and while now windows are expected to last 20, 30, even 40 years or more, most of the homes in places like Orangevale, Fair Oaks, Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, and beyond are well beyond their expected window lifespan.

Andersen E Series

California Energy Consultant Service is an energy efficiency company. We provide services that help your property reduce their energy use and maintain a more comfortable temperature all throughout the year. Replacing older windows can improve energy efficiency by as much as 20 to 40%, saving potentially thousands of dollars throughout the year depending on your energy bills.

In addition, new windows can:

  • Help maintain a more consistent temperature.
  • Reduce the load on your HVAC and extend its lifespan.
  • Improve property values.
  • Change the look of your property.
  • Reduce air leakage, and beyond.

Many of the properties in Northern California still have single pane windows, or use double pane windows from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, which did not have the look or the efficiency of the windows today. Window replacement will provide a noticeable improvement the moment the installation is complete, with a look that you will be proud of for years to come.

Window FAQ

Q: How Do I Know It’s Time to Replace My Windows?

A: Most windows have an expiration date. Even though they can still last for decades longer than anticipated, after about ~20 years, they start to develop leaks and the frames may begin to decay. In addition, window technology has improved dramatically. The windows of 20 years ago are not nearly as energy efficient as the windows of today. Typically, it is time to replace your windows when you notice your energy efficiency dropping, when the frames have become visually unappealing, when you have found air leaks, or when you simply want new windows. If your windows are single-pane, then the time to replace them is now.

Q: Should I Choose White Window Frames?

A: White window frames are the default window frames, but there are an almost

unlimited number of window frame colors. Black window frames are becoming increasingly popular, as are grey and brown. But there are also blue, green, even maroon window frames depending on the supplier. There are also black and white window frames, with different colors on the interior and exterior of the frame. Choose the one that makes the most sense for your desired colors and budget.

Q: Are There Significant Differences Between Window Manufacturers?

A: There can be. Simonton, for example, has windows frames that are a bit thinner, while Andersen makes some very thick window frames. Each manufacturer also offers different energy efficiency ratings, and windows that vary in the type of technology and clarity used to make them. Sometimes there are also sales of different window styles depending on backlog. We’re happy to walk you through all the different options.

Q: What Are the Differences Between New Construction Windows and Replacement Windows/Retrofit?

A: Your home already has windows. To replace those windows, there are a few options. First, we can cut the window out and then stick a new window in the hole, sealing around the window to prevent air leaks. This is known as a “replacement window” or a “retrofit window.” Another option is to take the entire window and frame out of the wall, nail in the window into the studs, and then rebuild the siding and drywall around the window for a built in look as though it was part of the original property. This is called a “full frame window” or a “new construction window.”

Full frame windows are considered more desirable because they fit the property better and may last longer without leaks, but they tend to cost more and take longer to install. They may also require repainting the property and could in some cases affect the look of your siding, although most people find new construction to look better after installation because it looks more built into the siding. Retrofit’s cost efficiency makes it the more common choice, but both are great options.
