When it comes to caring for your windows, misinformation can be just as costly as neglect. At EcoView Windows, we often see homeowners unknowingly waste money because they believe common window maintenance myths. Let’s set the record straight.
Myth #1: “If my windows aren’t broken, they’re fine.”
Even windows that look intact can leak air, allowing your heating and cooling to escape. Worn seals and aging frames can quietly drive up energy bills. Regular inspections help catch these issues early, before they impact comfort and costs.
Myth #2: “New windows don’t need maintenance.”
Modern windows are designed for durability, but they still benefit from basic upkeep. Cleaning tracks, checking weatherstripping, and ensuring smooth operation can extend lifespan and preserve energy efficiency.
Myth #3: “Condensation is just a cosmetic issue.”
Moisture between panes or around frames can indicate seal failure or ventilation problems. Left unaddressed, condensation can lead to reduced insulation performance and potential damage over time.
Myth #4: “DIY fixes save money.”
Quick fixes like caulking over damaged seals may offer temporary relief, but they often mask larger problems. Professional maintenance or replacement from a trusted EcoView dealer ensures long-term savings and performance.
Proper window care protects your home, your comfort, and your wallet. If you’re unsure about the condition of your windows, EcoView Windows is here to help you make informed, cost-saving decisions today and for years to come.
