As Halloween creeps closer, it’s not just haunted houses giving off eerie vibes. If you live in a home with old windows, you might be dealing with some spooky stuff in your home, and we’re not talking about ghosts.
From creaks and drafts to sky-high energy bills, your old windows might be the real fright this fall. Here are the top reasons why old windows are scarier than you think, and how Renewal by Andersen can help you kick the creepy to the curb.
They Suck the Life Out of Your Energy Efficiency
Old windows are often single-pane, drafty, and poorly insulated. That means your HVAC system works overtime to keep your home comfortable, which can drive your energy bills through the roof.
The horror: You’re paying more for heat that escapes faster than a vampire at sunrise.
The fix: Renewal by Andersen’s Fibrex® windows are engineered for superior insulation, keeping warmth in and cold out while lowering your monthly energy bills.
They Creak, Crack, and Let in Chilling Drafts
Hear that? It’s not a ghost, it’s your old window frame settling…again. Warped wood, cracked caulking, and loose sashes can let in cold autumn air.
The horror: Mysterious cold spots in your home that give you chills, literally.
The fix: New windows from Renewal by Andersen are custom-fitted and sealed tight to eliminate creepy drafts and unsettling noises.
They’re a Breeding Ground for Mold and Rot
Moisture is a monster all its own. Old, leaky windows allow water to seep in, leading to mold, mildew, and rotting frames. And that’s not just unsightly; it can also affect indoor air quality and your family’s health.
The horror: Hidden mold behind your window frames is hideous and a serious health risk.
The fix: Our Fibrex® material resists moisture and decay, helping to protect your home from the inside out.
They’re Stuck in the Past (And Make Your Home Look Like a Time Capsule)
Let’s be honest: those aluminum or weathered wood frames aren’t doing your curb appeal any favors. Outdated styles make your home look tired, neglected, and just plain scary.
The horror: Curb appeal that screams “last century.”
The Fix: Modern window styles, finishes, and grille patterns elevate your home’s look, inside and out.
They Could Be a Safety Nightmare
Old windows can become hard to open or refuse to open altogether, which can be a serious hazard in an emergency, like a fire.
The horror: Windows that won’t open when you need them most.
The fix: Smooth-operating Renewal by Andersen windows that open and close with ease, and meet today’s safety standards.
