How to Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Windows

Thinking about replacing your windows but not sure if it’s time? Small warning signs like drafts, condensation, or higher energy bills can mean your old windows are no longer doing their job. At Great Northern Home Exteriors, we help Niagara homeowners upgrade to energy-efficient KV Custom Windows that look great, perform better, and save money year-round.
Common Signs You Need New Windows
- Cold drafts near your windows — even when closed
- Condensation or fog between glass panes
- Difficulty opening, closing, or locking windows
- Noticeable noise from outside traffic or wind
- Fading furniture or flooring due to poor UV protection
Pro Tip: Full-frame window replacements give the best insulation and long-term value, especially for older Niagara homes built before 1990.
