Why July is when people think about windows

If you have ever stood near a west-facing window on a July afternoon in Peoria, you already understand the case for better windows. Older single-pane or aging windows can let in a lot of heat, and the AC ends up working harder to keep up. Homeowners notice it on their electric bill, and they notice it in the rooms that never quite cool down.

Summer is also when people are home more, staying inside out of the heat. That is when the drafty patio door, the fogged-up glass and the window that will not open properly start to bother them.

Some signs a home might be ready for new windows:

• Glass that feels hot to the touch on sunny afternoons
• Fog or moisture trapped between panes
• Windows that stick, will not lock or have gaps around the frame
• A sliding patio door that is hard to open
• Faded furniture or flooring near certain windows
• High summer electric bills compared to similar homes

With monsoon season here, it is also a good time to notice where dust and rain are getting in during storms.

How you can refer Affordable Windows Plus Exteriors

Window projects come up in all kinds of everyday conversations. A great referral for Rudy is:

• A homeowner complaining about a room that stays hot all summer

• A homeowner getting ready to sell who wants to improve curb appeal
• A new homeowner who just moved into an older West Valley neighborhood
• Someone with a patio door that sticks, leaks or will not lock
• Anyone planning a remodel who has not thought about the windows yet

Real estate agents, HVAC companies, remodelers, painters and home inspectors are natural partners, since their clients often ask about windows. If you work in one of those fields, Rudy would love to meet you for a one-to-one.
