FAQ: Winter installations in Ottawa
Is it safe to install windows during winter?
Absolutely! Our crews are trained to handle cold-weather installations without sacrificing quality.
Professional installers are accustomed to working in cold conditions and follow specific procedures to limit heat loss and prevent cold air from entering your home. They typically remove and install one window at a time and may use temporary coverings or barriers to keep the interior warm during installation. Weather conditions such as extreme cold (below -15°C) or snowstorms might delay installation schedules for safety and quality reasons.
Winter installation can sometimes be more cost-effective. Since demand for windows typically decreases in colder months, some companies may offer discounts or promotional rates to encourage customers to proceed with replacements. Additionally, scheduling tends to be more flexible, with shorter wait times than busier seasons like spring or summer.
Will winter installations affect energy performance?
No. Upgrading now ensures you start saving on heating bills right away.
Does winter weather affect the timing of installation?
Minor delays can occur due to severe weather (such as snowstorms), but reputable installers closely monitor forecasts and adapt their schedules. They aim to work during calm days and ensure that installation is completed efficiently without compromising quality
Are cold-weather caulks and sealants used?
Yes, professional installers use specialized, weather-appropriate sealants that remain flexible and cure properly even in freezing temperatures, ensuring long-term airtight seals for your windows.
Are there any changes in the warranty for winter installations?
No, professional companies guarantee the same warranty for winter installations as they do for other seasons, provided installation follows industry best practices. The use of proper techniques ensures lasting quality regardless of weather conditions.
Will I see immediate energy savings after winter installation?
Yes! New windows provide better insulation, preventing heat loss and drafts. Many homeowners notice a reduction in heating costs immediately after installation, especially since inefficient windows are more obvious during winter.
Can winter installation save me money?
Winter is often a slower season for window companies, so many offer discounts and shorter wait times. Taking advantage of these deals can result in lower overall costs compared to peak seasons like summer.
How many windows can be safely installed in a single day?
To ensure minimal heat loss, installers typically replace windows one at a time. Depending on the home and weather, a team can complete several installations in one day without compromising comfort inside your home.
What if the weather changes unexpectedly during installation?
Installers are prepared for sudden weather shifts. They secure open window spaces with temporary coverings and can pause work until conditions improve. Protecting your home is always the top priority
