Most people believe the best time to consider a window replacement is during the spring and summer. This is a common and understandable misconception, but changing windows in the winter is actually just as an ideal time as summer or spring. If your windows feel as cold as the outside or fog up  during the winter time, you should not wait until the spring to have your windows replace. Energy efficient windows will allow you to save both money and heat this holiday season.

There are some easy and quick things you can do to prepare for your window installation during the winter. Move furniture and lamps away from your window. Give your installers plenty of work space so the process can move faster. Also removing your window coverings will save some time.
