Drafts and Air Leaks: Feel drafts around the windows, especially on windy days. If you notice air leaks, it indicates that the seals may be compromised, impacting energy efficiency.
Visible Damage: Inspect the window frames for visible damage such as rot, decay, or warping. Damaged frames compromise the structural integrity of the window.
Difficulty Opening or Closing: If your windows are challenging to open or close, it may be a sign of issues with the frame, sash, or hardware. This can affect both operable and fixed windows.
Condensation Between Panes: Double-pane or insulated windows may develop condensation between the panes, indicating a failed seal. This compromises insulation and energy efficiency.
Increased Energy Bills: If your energy bills have been consistently rising, inefficient windows could be a contributing factor. New, energy-efficient windows can help reduce heating and cooling costs.
Noise Infiltration: If you notice an increase in outside noise, your windows may not be providing sufficient sound insulation. Modern windows with double or triple-pane glass can help reduce noise infiltration.
Decay or Mold Growth: If you observe signs of decay, mold growth, or water damage around the window frame, it's a clear indication of a potential leak. This can lead to structural issues and health concerns.
Single-Pane Windows: Single-pane windows are less energy-efficient compared to double or triple-pane windows. Upgrading to more energy-efficient options can improve insulation and comfort.
