Drafty windows don’t just chill your bones—they drain your wallet. In Michigan, where winters are long and heating costs are high, efficient windows make a big impact.
Here are five telltale signs your windows are hurting your bottom line.

1. You Feel Drafts Near Closed Windows
Even when shut, old or poorly sealed windows can let cold air in.
2. Your Energy Bills Keep Climbing
Rising heating and cooling costs? It might not be your furnace or AC—it could be your windows. Upgrading to ENERGY STAR® rated models can save homeowners hundreds each year.
3. Condensation or Fog Between Panes
This means the seal has failed, reducing insulation and allowing moisture in. That means it’s time for a window replacement.
4. Windows Are Hard to Open or Close
This is a sign of frame warping or hardware issues. Not only is it annoying, but it also reduces security and efficiency.
5. Exterior Noise is Louder Indoors
Newer windows provide better soundproofing. If you hear traffic noise inside, it's a sign your windows aren’t doing their job.
