Residential Window Replacement FAQ
Sunbusters Windows & Doors — common questions about replacing windows.
How do I know if I need to replace my windows?
Sunbusters Windows & Doors recommends considering replacement if you notice drafts, cold spots, condensation between panes, sticking/hard-to-operate sashes, visible rot or damage, or rising heating and cooling costs. New windows can improve comfort, energy efficiency, and noise reduction.
What types of replacement windows can I choose from?
Sunbusters Windows & Doors can help you choose from popular residential styles like casement, sliding, picture, awning, bay/bow, and more—matched to your home’s look, ventilation needs, and budget.

Can you replace windows in winter?
In many cases, yes. Experienced installers use techniques to minimize heat loss during the swap. Sunbusters Windows & Doors will advise on seasonal considerations and the best approach for your home.
