A few of my windows are a little drafty, but they aren't really to bad. Are their any other signs that my windows really need replacing? Thanks!

I would contact a company to come give you a free quote on replacements. Then ask them if they are bad enough to get replaced.

I would get them replaced no doubt about it. It will save on your heating/cooling bills. So in the long run they will end up paying for themselves!

The price wasn't to bad and I'm sure it'll make our home look much nicer.
