What to Include in Your Fall Window Maintenance Checklist

With proper care, you can maintain the smooth operation of your windows and prolong their life. Keeping these parts of your home in top shape also helps keep your home safe and secure. Windows in good condition can also protect your property better from the elements.  

What to Include in Your Fall Window Maintenance Checklist

Here are fall window maintenance tips for homeowners. 

Clean Windows  

Window cleaning is a vital task to complete this fall. You want to do it on a cloudy day to prevent streaks on window glass. Avoid using abrasive tools and cleaning products to prevent issues like seal failure and frame damage. To protect your windows from mold, make it a habit to wipe away moisture. It helps to run exhaust fans or open windows while cooking. A dehumidifier is also excellent for eliminating excess warm, moist air in your home. 

Deal With Faulty Hardware

Check the locks, handles and other mechanical parts of your windows. Are there windows in your home that are difficult to open and close? Fixing faulty hardware goes a long way in preventing drafts, energy loss and increased energy costs. It will also keep your property safe from intruders. 

Improve Your Home’s Insulation

There are several things you can do to improve your home’s insulation. First is to get heavy curtains, which will help keep your living space warm during the colder months. They will help prevent your HVAC system from working too hard, reducing energy costs. Besides giving added warmth and insulation, thick curtains are also great for the privacy of your indoor spaces.

"We recently replaced all of the windows in our home. I was most impressed with the friendly staff who knew what I wanted before I did. They seemed to be able to find the perfect window for each one we replaced. We are very pleased with the result. From beginning to end they were professional and helpful. I would highly recommend Renewal by Anderson."
