Why Winter Is the Best Time to Replace Foggy or Broken Window Glass

When cold weather hits Colorado Springs, it often reveals problems in your home’s windows you didn’t notice before. Foggy glass, cold drafts, or visible cracks are more than just annoyances—they’re signs it’s time to consider window glass replacement.

While many homeowners wait until spring or summer for repairs, winter is actually one of the best times to take action. Here’s why—and how City Glass can help you make the most of the season.

1. Winter Highlights Window Problems You Can’t Ignore

During the colder months, window issues become more obvious:

• Fog or condensation between double panes
• Cold air seeping through cracks or seals
• Glass that feels icy to the touch
• Noticeable indoor temperature drops near windows

These are clear indicators of broken seals, poor insulation, or glass failure. Ignoring these issues means higher energy bills, reduced comfort, and potential water damage from condensation.

2. Replacing Glass Is Faster (and Cheaper) Than Full Window Replacement

Unlike full window replacements—which can be messy, expensive, and time-consuming—City Glass offers glass-only replacement, which is:

• More affordable (you keep your window frames)
• Faster to install
• Less disruptive to your home
• Ideal for double-pane, single-pane, or custom windows

We replace only the damaged or foggy glass inside your existing windows—saving you time, money, and mess.

3. Winter Scheduling Has Advantages

Winter is often a slower season for home improvement, which means:

• Faster turnaround times
• More flexible scheduling
• No long lead times waiting for glass delivery

You can get your windows fixed before spring without delays—especially important if you’re preparing for seasonal upgrades or selling your home soon.

4. Improve Energy Efficiency Now—Not Later

Old or foggy glass is a major source of heat loss. By replacing it during winter, you:

• Reduce drafts and improve insulation
• Lower your heating bill
• Increase indoor comfort immediately

City Glass offers energy-efficient double-pane glass, Low-E coatings, and custom insulated glass solutions tailored to Colorado Springs’ climate.
