Winter Window Replacement: Smart Choice

Most people assume that window replacement is strictly a "warm weather project." They picture their home being exposed to the elements, snow blowing into the living room, and a massive heating bill following shortly after.

In reality, winter is actually one of the smartest times to upgrade your windows. Here is why you shouldn’t wait for the spring thaw to make the switch.


1. Faster Lead Times and Scheduling

During the winter months it's great to get on our schedule for a remodeling project. We can get you on the schedule rather quickly and do it efficiency.

  • Get your project done faster and start saving money on your energy bills now!  

2. Immediate Impact on Energy Bills

Why pay to heat the outdoors for another three months? If your current windows are drafty, you are essentially throwing money out the window every time the furnace kicks on.

By installing high-efficiency windows from Conservation Construction in the winter, you see an instant reduction in your energy consumption. Our modern windows utilize 3 layers of Low-E glass and argon gas fill to keep the heat inside where it belongs.

3. "The Gap" is Smaller Than You Think

One of the biggest myths is that your house will be freezing for hours when the installation takes places. This is just no the case . . . 

  • We prep the new window entirely before removing the old one.

  • The actual time the "hole" in your wall is open to the elements is usually only 10 to 15 minutes per window.

  • Our installers often work in teams to close off rooms, ensuring the rest of your home stays cozy while they work.

4. Better Detection of Problem Areas

It is much easier to find a draft when it’s 20°F outside than when it’s 70°F.

  • Draft Spotting: Installers can easily identify exactly where air is leaking.

  • Moisture Check: Winter air highlights seal failures and condensation issues that might be invisible during the humid summer months. New windows prevent air infiltration so your heat stays in and the cold stays out.


Is it too cold for the materials?

A common concern is whether the sealant will work in the cold. Don't worry— our professional installers use high-performance, cold-weather silicones specifically designed to adhere and seal at temperatures well below freezing.
