Once the sun goes down in Orange, CA in the wintertime, it\u2019s not uncommon for the temperature to go down along with it. While the temps stay on the milder side for much of the rest of the year, they\u2019re known to drop down into the 40s on some nights once winter rolls around. It\u2019s why many homeowners choose to install replacement windows in Orange, CA<\/a> ahead of the winter season.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been thinking about putting new windows into place in your home, now is the perfect time to do it. You can ensure your home is ready for the colder temps in Orange, CA by taking this approach. You can also get your home\u2019s windows ready for the wintertime by taking a few simple steps. Here is what you should do to properly prepare windows for the colder months of the year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Check to see how difficult it is to open and close windows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"opening<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that the winter is coming, you\u2019re still going to want to keep your windows open on many days in Orange, CA. The temperatures can climb up into the 70s on most days, even in December, January, and February. But in order to open your windows, they need to be easy to open and close. The last thing you want to do is open a window and not be able to close it at night. Check to see how difficult your Orange, CA windows are to open and close and make repairs to them if it\u2019s too hard to operate them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Test out the hardware on your windows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"testing<\/p>\n

When you close your windows at night to keep the cold temperatures out of your home, you should lock them to make sure no air is able to leak in. To do this, you need to have fully-functioning locks on your windows. The problem is that many older windows don\u2019t have locks on them that work. Test out the hardware on your windows to make sure that you won\u2019t have any issues locking them. If your windows have broken locks on them, replace the locks or consider replacing the windows altogether.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inspect the weatherstripping around your windows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"window<\/p>\n

Even if you close all your windows at night and lock them tight, there still might be some cold air that manages to make its way into your home. If you don\u2019t have fresh weatherstripping around your windows, they aren\u2019t going to be able to keep cold air out. Inspect your weatherstripping closely to see if any of it needs to be replaced. If it does, replace it sooner than later so that it doesn\u2019t take a toll on your home this winter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take a look at the sealant used on the exterior of your windows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition to inspecting the weatherstripping around your windows, you should inspect the sealant used to seal the exterior of your windows, too. This sealant can get very brittle and crack on you over time, which will let some air enter your home in the wintertime. By resealing your windows with new sealant, you can stop cold air in its tracks.<\/p>\n
