Is your home constantly warm during the hot summer months? Do you find that you’re constantly running your air conditioner and it still isn’t staying as cool as you’d like? There’s only so much an air conditioning unit can do if your home isn’t insulated well. Every day, you are wasting money trying to cool a home that can’t be completely cooled.
One of the main culprits in a home that is poorly insulated is the home’s windows. Old windows tend to have gaps that allow in hot air from the outside. Heat is also transferring into the home through the glass and the frames (especially if the frames are made of metal—which the window frames in many old homes are). Caulking around your old windows can help somewhat, but if you really want your home to stay cooler on hot days, you will want to consider window replacement.
Window replacement involves removal of your home’s old windows and replacing them with more energy-efficient windows of the same size and shape. The process of window replacement in San Diego starts by having a company come out to measure for your new windows. After you choose which brand of windows you want and what features they will include, an order will be placed for your new windows. Since every replacement window is custom made, it will likely take 6-8 weeks before your new windows are completed. Then, an installation date will be scheduled.
When you work with an experienced replacement window company with their own team of professional installers, the actual installation should only take a day or two.
At the end of the process, your home will be much better insulated from outside temperatures. You may even find that you rarely need to run your air conditioner anymore—even on the hottest days of the year!
You don’t want to replace your home’s windows with just any windows, however. Look for brands that are made specifically for the San Diego climate, such as the Catalina line of windows made by Anlin Windows & Doors. These windows do a great job of keeping out the heat, while maximizing the glass area. They also come with several different frame styles, so you can choose the one that best complements the style of your home.
Anlin windows are only sold by authorized dealers in San Diego, such as BM Windows. BM Windows provides expert installation with every window they sell. They never outsource the installation to subcontractors. They also provide a lifetime installation warranty, in addition to the manufacturer’s lifetime warranty.
