Fall in the Upstate brings crisp mornings, colorful leaves, and cooler evenings—perfect for cozy nights at home. But if your windows are old, cracked, or drafty, that crisp air may be sneaking inside your home where it doesn’t belong.


Drafty windows don’t just make your home uncomfortable—they can also drive up your energy bills as your heating system works harder to keep things warm. With winter right around the corner, now is the perfect time to schedule a free window inspection and ensure your home is ready for the colder months ahead.


How to Spot Drafty Windows

Not sure if your windows need attention? Here are some common signs of drafty or failing windows:

  • Noticeable drafts: You feel cool air seeping in around the frame, especially on windy days.

  • Higher energy bills: Your heating system is running more often, and your utility bills are climbing.

  • Condensation or fogging: Moisture between glass panes can signal broken seals.

  • Difficulty opening or closing: Windows that stick, jam, or won’t lock properly may not be sealing tightly.

  • Visible wear: Cracks, warped frames, or soft spots in wooden sills can allow air and moisture in.

If you’ve noticed any of these issues, your windows may not be protecting your home as they should.


Why Fall is the Best Time for a Window Inspection

Scheduling a free inspection in the fall has several benefits:

  • Prepare before winter: Addressing issues now ensures your home is warm and efficient when cold weather arrives.

  • Save on heating costs: Properly sealed windows keep warm air inside and cold air outside, lowering utility bills.

  • Improve comfort: No more chilly drafts by the couch or near your dining table.

  • Protect your investment: Window issues left unchecked can lead to water damage, rot, or even structural concerns over time.


Window Solutions for Every Home

Not every drafty window needs a full replacement. During an inspection, professionals can recommend the right solution for your situation, such as:

  • Resealing or caulking to eliminate small gaps

  • Weatherstripping for better insulation

  • Repairing broken hardware or locks for improved security and performance

  • Replacing glass panes or frames if seals are compromised

  • Full window replacement for older, inefficient, or damaged windows
