    4 Critical Window Maintenance Tasks for Your Indianapolis Home

    Windows are an important feature of your Indianapolis home. They enhance the beautyof your space and save you energy by filling your rooms with natural light. If not properly maintained, however, your windows can become an energy drain. Here are 4 window maintenance tasks that will extend the life of your panes.

    1. Inspect Your Windows Seasonally

    Take a good look at your windows at least four times a year. Check the condition of both the frame and the sash. Inspect for signs of condensation between window panes, which could indicate a damaged seal. Weather stripping should also be checked and replaced when needed. Any gaps between the wall and window casing can be filled by caulking.

    2. Regularly Clean Your Windows

    Washing windows isn’t everyone’s favorite chore, but keeping windows clean will help them stay well-maintained. You should clean more than just the glass itself. If dust and debris gets into any of the components, it could jam your windows.

    3. Repaint Window Frames Every 3 or 4 years

    Painting your window frames will keep them looking great. Especially if exposed to the elements, paint can peel, which is unsightly and can lead to frame damage. Some window frame material doesn’t require paintingbecause the color is infused in it.

    4. Replace Damaged Components as Soon as Possible

    If you notice any chips, cracks, holes or splinters in the window or frame, attend to them quickly. If you don’t, the problem could get worse. For the safety of everyone in your home, any broken glass should be replaced promptly. Shattered glass can be a danger to people, pets and furnishings. Even the tiniest damage can affect the security and energy-efficiency of a window.

    Is It Time to Replace Any Windows?

    As you complete your regular window maintenance tasks, you may discover that it’s time to replace your windows. Replacement windows are not only a great way to improve the look of your home, they can also save you money on your energy bills and reduce the number of window maintenance tasks that you’ll be faced with. It can be tempting to skip professional installation to save costs. This can end up costing you big in the long run. Professionally installed windows will bring you peace of mind. To start the process, contact the team at Renewal by Andersen Indianapolis. We will complete a complimentary consultation and help you determine which windows are ready for replacement.
