When having new windows installed in your Seattle home, it’s important to think about timing. Ideally, you want to replace your windows when it’s warm outside, making summer the best season for the job. This is especially true if you’re planning to replace most or all of the windows in your home, rather than just one or two.

Why Replace Windows During Summer?

There are many reasons why it’s best to have your new windows installed during the summer months.

First of all: warmth. Before your new windows can be installed, your old windows will need to be removed. If you replace your windows during the winter, cold air will rush into your home, making it extremely uncomfortable and forcing you to crank up the heat, which could then cause your energy bills to skyrocket. During the summer, outside temperatures are temperate, so you won’t have to worry as much about leaving your home exposed.

Winter storms are also problematic, as snow and ice can cause obstructions and make it difficult for a contractor to access your windows. And, in Seattle, it’s much more likely to rain during the winter than it is during the summer. You cannot have new windows installed while it’s raining, so if you choose to have your windows installed during the winter, you run the risk that rain will cause a major delay.
