Is it worth replacing old windows?
Home windows typically last about 15 to 20 years, and after that period the seals may begin to weaken and allow water or drafts to seep in. It may be time to replace your windows if they are hard to open, damaged or not well insulated, which could contribute to higher energy bills.
What type of window is most energy-efficient?
Generally speaking, the most energy-efficient glass is a triple-pane, krypton-filled unit. Triple-pane windows create two thermal breaks, and Krypton does a great job of blocking heat transfer.
