**Did you know we install all winter long? **

_Winter, Schminter! _We have our [**Winter Worry-Free Installation Program**](https://mycoastalwindows.com/working-with-home-contractor-in-winter/)
for full peace of mind.

Many New England homeowners are in need of **[new efficient windows](https://mycoastalwindows.com/windows/),
[siding](https://mycoastalwindows.com/siding/), [roofing](https://mycoastalwindows.com/roofing/)**,
and** [entry doors](https://mycoastalwindows.com/doors/)** due to old products, 
drafts, leaks, and high energy bills. With the increase of **[National Grid spike](https://mycoastalwindows.com/national-grid-raised-heating-bills/)**
of over 108% since last fall, it’s no wonder why you are in need and need to act
now.

We want to let you know that winter is a great time to replace inefficient exterior
products that cause energy bills to skyrocket! 

Don’t let winter delay your home projects. Our trained team works in all weather
conditions to ensure safe installations. We understand your concerns, so we enhanced
our Winter Worry-Free Installation Program for added comfort and protection.

No more worries about feeling stuck with those drafty windows, an old leaky roof,
cracked inefficient siding, and high energy bills waiting until Spring. Winter-Schminter-
you got nothing on Coastal! 

With our Winter Worry-Free Installation Program, you’ll have peace of mind knowing
that our installers work quickly without losing quality or craftsmanship. We prep
your home for minimal heat loss during the installation process. 

## Can You Install Windows in the Winter?

It’s one of the biggest myths in the **[exterior home remodeling](https://mycoastalwindows.com/)**
industry: you can’t install windows in cold weather. Not only can you perform window
installation in MA during the winter, you _should_!

If you’re like many homeowners, you’re likely wondering what to expect with cold-
weather window installation in MA. We’ll take you through the process of what happens
during winter window installation, allowing you to discover the benefits that come
along with it.

## **Your Free In-Home Demonstration**

This step is similar to any other time of year. You’ll contact us for a quote and
we’ll come to your home to educate you on our windows, like the fact that they can
help you save over $400 per year on your heating bills!

The state of Massachusetts released the following data on the average heating bill
in New England by heating type. Imagine reducing these numbers by hundreds of dollars
each year!

From there, you’ll choose your glass package, which should contain technologies 
such as low-e application and argon or krypton gas—the essential combination for
thermal insulation in replacement windows. Low-e also helps the sun passively heat
the home during the winter. Without these technologies, you won’t experience the
maximized energy savings that new replacement windows bring.

## **Ordering Your Windows**

Once you pick out all of the elements of your **[new window installation project](https://mycoastalwindows.com/windows/windows-gallery/)**,
the next step is placing your order. The exciting part about ordering new windows
in the winter is that you’ll typically have a shorter wait time than what you’ll
have in spring or summer.

If you decide to wait until the summer, your wait time might last for several months!
That’s because not as many homeowners are taking advantage of window replacement
this time of year. You can also find some great window installation promotions during
the winter.

Once your windows are ready, the cold weather installation process begins.

## **Preparing Your Home For Cold Weather Window Installation**

Before we begin removing old windows, we’ll prep the area to keep your home as clean
as possible. We may put tarps down to protect your flooring or landscaping outside.
This protects the area from construction debris as well as the harsh winter elements.
We’ll also ask you to put your pets in a safe place, away from the crew as they 
work to install your new windows.

## **Removing Old Windows**

Once your home is ready, the installer removes the old windows to begin the new 
window installation. Unlike the warmer months, they typically remove one window 
at a time during cold weather. This approach marks the biggest difference between
warm and cold window installation.

If the window opening is very large, such as a bow, bay, or picture window, we might
place plastic in front of the opening to help reduce energy loss inside the home.

When the old windows are removed, it’s time to start putting the **[new windows](https://mycoastalwindows.com/replacement-windows/replacement-windows-in-lynnfield-ma/)**
in place.

## **Installing New Windows**

Smaller windows should be replaced relatively quickly, but don’t mistake quickness
as incorrect installation. The best window installers are able to remove and **[replace old windows](https://mycoastalwindows.com/3-problems-old-windows-give-during-winter/)**
efficiently so you lose no energy.

This system is used to move from window to window, installing one after another 
in the shortest amount of time possible. The installers work in teams to make the
window installation work as quickly,

When temperatures are very cold, special caulking or insulating foams might be used
that are suited for cold weather window installation. If temperatures **[get close to 0](https://www.ecolinewindows.ca/modern-windows-can-my-installation-be-done-in-the-winter/)**
degrees Fahrenheit, caulking and foam can become brittle and difficult to apply.

While temperature isn’t as much of a concern for window replacement as other exterior
projects, there are some circumstances when snow or ice might pose a problem.

We have a very intricate, step-by-step process that we follow with window winter
installation. Our goal is to work quickly while minimizing energy loss during the
process.

## **What About Snowfall?**

Light snow typically won’t delay your window installation project. However, you’ll
have to pay attention to snow accumulation around your home. Too much snow and ice
can make it difficult to access the area and get new windows installed, so make 
sure the area is clear before the **[window installation](https://mycoastalwindows.com/replacement-windows/peabody-ma/)**
team arrives.

Otherwise, you can expect your window installation to be uneventful. The crew will
clean up after themselves and leave your home looking just as clean as you left 
it!
