Window seal failure can occur, regardless of the age of your windows. However, this issue is more common in older units. You want to address this problem immediately because it can compromise your home’s comfort and cause energy bills to increase.
A trusted provider of window and door replacement services shares some of the most common signs of window seal failure.
Condensation usually forms on window glass due to significant differences in indoor and outdoor temperatures. It should not be a concern as long as you can wipe the condensation on the glass. If your windows are fogging from the inside, their seals have likely failed. When seals fail, moisture sneaks in and gets trapped inside panes, causing windows to appear cloudy.
To determine if you need to replace your windows, have them checked by an experienced contractor. Whether you need new windows or a sliding patio door, you can rely on Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City. We only install high-quality windows and doors backed with comprehensive warranties.
Do you feel a gust of air when you pass by your windows? It could mean that they have air leaks. Drafty windows can make your living space uncomfortable.

Have you noticed a sudden increase in your energy costs? Your windows could be to blame for your high heating and cooling bills.
