California has decent temperatures all year round, though it can get rather hot during the summer months. There’s also a windy season that brings in the dust without cooling the temperatures down. Santa Ana Winds usually arrive in the late summer and early fall. They begin with dry air moving in from the interior of the U.S. towards Southern California. When that season comes, having replacement windows in is more important than ever. Here’s how you can prepare for the windy season with new replacement windows.
Replacement Windows Protect from Winds, Rain, and Seasonal Allergies
Hot Santa Ana Winds often bring sand storms that, if not stopped by the quality replacement windows, can get inside your house, causing pollution and allergies.
It rarely rains in Southern California, but when it does, it pours. When you have older windows, rain can cause damage to the interior of your home. Old windows tend to leak air, and if air can get through, so can the water from rain. If you notice water stains on your walls, there’s a leak somewhere, which can cause some major damage over time. Water brings mold growth, and wood can rot away as well. The longer those things remain damp, the more damage. Instead of dealing with the rain inside your home and the leaks from the windows, getting replacements can help seal things up and protect the home all year round.
If you’ve noticed dust settling on your surfaces or rain leaking around your windows, imagine what else can get in. For example, bugs and other pests can get through very small holes. And even on a nice day, air can certainly move back and forth between the outdoors and your home, killing off your energy efficiency. On those hot days, you want your air conditioning to stay inside to keep things cool. If it filters out, you are cooling the whole neighborhood against your will. Your bills will reflect it.
Before the windy season hits, followed by seasonal rains, it’s a good idea to look into replacement windows. No one wants to dust daily, deal with leaks inside their home and suffer from allergies.
Old windows are also synonymous with the constant need for repairs and maintenance. Leaky windows indicate that problems need to be addressed, so make sure you deal with that as soon as you realize there is a problem. Once you have new windows, you’ll be happy with your lower energy bills, further comfort, and the lack of maintenance and repairs you have to do on the new windows.
