In the past, most of us read too many
articles about homes in the north, usually without realizing that home
remodeling should be climate specific. Consequently, many Texans rush out to replace
their doors and windows when they feel the first frost of winter or
the first 90-degree day of spring or summer.
The vast
majority of windows and doors in a North Texas home don't need
replacing. Most of the preventable heat loss or gain from windows is from air leakage. This can be stopped by weather stripping and/or caulking without replacing the windows. If this is done correctly, it will make most old windows or doors 90% as air tight as a brand new one for a fraction of the cost. Every home owner should try this before replacing doors and windows or other energy renovations: Admittedly there is a lot of pressure from industry to replace windows. If you do replace your windows, be aware that they is a very long payback period. Contact Terry Jensen at 972 251-1532 or 817 545-0140.
