When it comes to putting in new windows you may already know that you need them, but maybe you don’t really know when you should be installing them. After all, you’ve heard about installing during the warm months and you’ve heard about the benefits of installing during colder months. We’re going to look at the pros and cons of both of those options for your replacement windows installation and your Dallas, TX home.
Benefits of Installing in Colder Months
When the weather is a little bit cooler or even downright cold can actually be a good time to install new windows. The reason? You’re going to pay less for those windows. At least, you’re going to pay less for the installation process because most installers don’t have quite as much to do during this point in time. After all, you’re not the only one who is a little bit nervous about opening up their home that much when the weather outside is getting colder by the day. But if you could save a good amount of money it’s something you might think about a little harder, right?
Downside of Installing in Colder Months
Now, we’ve already kind of touched on the downside of this option. The downside would be the fact that it’s going to be cold outside when you’re installing. For a lot of people this is definitely a reason to say no and not even think about this option. But installing replacement windows during the cold months has the benefits we’ve already mentioned. Plus you may not have to wait as long to get an appointment, so if you’re in a hurry to get them installed you may be able to do it fast.
Benefits of Installing in Warmer Months
Of course, the biggest benefit to installing in warmer months is that you don’t have to worry about opening up your house to the cold. When the old windows are taken out so those replacement windows can be put in, your home is still going to be comfortable and warm. You don’t have to be concerned about your family getting cold or uncomfortable. At least, not for the most part. Because when you open up the house during these months you could actually end up being a little bit too warm, depending on the time of year.
Downside of Installing in Warmer Months
The downside here is actually two-fold. For one thing, you could end up with temperatures outside being too warm for your family. Sure, you didn’t want to install them in the cold months because you were concerned that it was going to get too cold when you took out the old windows. But as you’re putting those replacement windows in you might realize that the temperatures have continued to climb and it’s now too hot and uncomfortable in your home having it opened up all the way. So you definitely want to look at finding a good balance.
Another downside can be the cost. Installing windows during warmer months is what everyone thinks about doing. That means the costs are going to be at their peak during this highly desirable time. If you’re looking to save money or you want to make sure your replacement windows are installed as soon as possible, you may not want to go with these warmer months because it’s definitely going to be a lot more busy. You could end up with more time involved, more money involved and more discomfort involved than you might have thought, but you will have beautiful replacement windows.
What to Know
Putting in your replacement windows in the fall, as the weather just starts to get cooler might be a good ‘best of both worlds’ scenario. This can allow you to get a little bit more of the cost benefits but without having to worry as much about the cold outside. It can be a little bit more comfortable for most people. All you need to do is make sure that you’re scheduling the appointment after the weather starts to cool off. That’s when you’re going to start seeing the pricing changes and potential offers.

If you’re looking at getting some installed you also want to know about the timeline that it’s going to take to get the project done. Though warmer months are going to be busier, that doesn’t mean that they’re going to be impossible for you to get in. If you really want your windows done at any point in time you can work with the company to see how you can get your job into the mix. The right company is going to be a little more flexible with you.
