How Important Is Proper Window Installation?

Would you take your expensive luxury car to a subpar mechanic? Hopefully not—and you should employ the same mentality when it comes to replacement windows. You can invest in the highest-quality windows on the market. But if the window installation is handled by a sloppy, inexperienced contractor, the windows won’t perform well and your investment will be compromised. Read on as Renewal by Andersen® of Cincinnati shares three reasons why installation is so crucial to the performance of your windows:

How Important Is Proper Window Installation?

1. Each Window Must Fit Perfectly Into the Space

When it comes to installing replacement windows in your home, every millimeter counts. An inexperienced contractor might not worry if the window isn’t a precise fit. At Renewal by Anderson of Cincinnati, we know better. We take measurements and custom-make each window to fit precisely into the space in your home. Others may skip this process and just ball-park the measurements, which will end up undermining the window’s energy efficiency and overall performance.

2. Improper Window Installation Leads to Costly Repairs

Replacement windows are a big expense, which is why some homeowners are understandably tempted to go with the most affordable contractor. This is usually a mistake; while you might save money on your double-hung or casement windows installation on the front end, you’ll end up paying far more down the road for ongoing repairs and potentially even a premature replacement.

3. Your Energy Efficiency Depends on the Quality of the Window Installation

Energy loss occurs when there are cracks or leaks in your home—like those caused by windows that aren’t an exact fit. If your windows are not sealed properly, they will undermine your energy efficiency and cause your utility bills to soar.

Whether you have double hung windows or casement windows, they should be installed properly so they can do their job well. Call Renewal by Anderson now at (866) 609-5033 for an estimate. We serve West Chester and the greater Cincinnati, OH area.
