Knowing whether to repair or replace your windows can make a big difference in your home’s comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term costs. At EcoView Windows, we often hear homeowners ask, “Can I just fix this?” The answer depends on a few key factors.
When Repairs Make Sense
If your windows have minor issues, like small cracks in the caulking, worn weatherstripping, or a sticking sash, simple repairs can often restore performance. These fixes are affordable and effective for windows that are still structurally sound and energy-efficient. Regular maintenance, such as resealing and lubricating tracks, can also extend their lifespan.
When It’s Time to Replace
Replacement is usually the better choice if you notice persistent drafts, condensation between panes, or rising energy bills. Windows older than 15–20 years may lack modern efficiency features like Low-E glass and insulated frames, making them costly to keep. Upgrading to new, ENERGY STAR®-rated windows can lower energy consumption and improve comfort year-round. Learn more about the benefits of energy-efficient windows at energystar.gov.
