\"Livermore,<\/p>\n

The old windows in your home could be causing you to waste a lot of energy every month. They could also be causing your home\u2019s HVAC system to have to work harder than it should ever have to. But did you know that your old windows could be putting you and your family members in harm\u2019s way as well? That\u2019s right. Your home\u2019s old windows could actually be dangerous, and you\u2019ll want to install replacement windows in Livermore, CA<\/a> if they are. Check out some of the ways in which your home\u2019s old windows could take a toll on those in your household if you\u2019re not careful.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your old windows might be difficult to open and close carefully.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Livermore, CA windows start to get up there in age, it can be difficult opening and closing them. You\u2019re going to have to use a decent amount of force to get them to budge. This might just seem inconvenient as opposed to dangerous, but as you can probably imagine, you could potentially slam a finger or even your whole hand in a window if you have to push too hard to open or close it. You\u2019ll need to be extra careful when dealing with hard-to-open windows.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your old windows might be rotting and on the verge of falling apart.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When windows get to be on the older side, they\u2019ll be more than just hard to open and close. Many of them will also begin to rot away and fall apart. This can be problematic for a few reasons. First, it can lead to the wood in these windows<\/a> splintering and possibly causing injuries. But it can also allow air, water, pests, and more to gain access to your home when you don\u2019t want them to. Some of these things can wreak havoc on your health and make your windows more dangerous than they might seem.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your old windows could have lead paint on them or contain materials with asbestos in them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have windows in your home that are very, very old, there is a chance that they could have lead paint on them. As you probably know, lead paint has been known to cause all kinds of health issues in people, especially children. Many older windows are also made out of materials that could have asbestos in them. If this asbestos is ever disturbed, it could get into the air where people could breathe it in and suffer the health consequences. You\u2019ll want to get rid of any windows containing lead paint or asbestos sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"replacement<\/p>\n

Your old windows could be allowing mold to grow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This mold can spread quickly behind walls and in other parts of your home and pose a serious health risk to you. You might not realize that this is happening at first, but once you do, you should have your old windows replaced right away so that mold isn\u2019t able to spread anymore.<\/p>\n
