More About 7 Signs You Need to Replace Your Windows

BROKEN OR DAMAGED SEALS
A broken seal can be a sign that it's time fix or replace your window's glass, according to David Flax, the vice president of operations for Window Genie, a Neighborly company. "You will see moisture and fogging appear on or between the panes," he says of the main symptom. "Once the seal is broken, your windows are significantly less efficient." Ultimately, this means your electric bill is likely to go up as your systems attempt to stabilize the interior environment.

INCREASED HEATING OR COOLING COSTS
Are you spending more money on keeping your home at a comfortable temperature? Brad Roberson, the president of Glass Doctor, a Neighborly company, says your panes have likely lost some of their efficiency. "Chances are, in homes with older windows, especially single-pane ones, a large chunk of your heating and cooling dollars are going to waste," he says. "Single-pane and worn double-pane units are prone to leaks."

DRAFTS
This may seem like an obvious sign, but Flax says it can actually be difficult to detect drafts. "You may not necessarily feel a draft—rather, some areas of your home might just feel cooler," he says. "If this often happens near a window and there isn't a vent nearby, it's time to investigate replacing it."

CONDENSATION OR WATER BUILD-UP
Unfortunately, water that appears between your windows can only be caused by one thing, according to Flax: a seal that has been damaged and is no longer airtight. Roberson agrees, adding that fog or condensation between panes can indicate seal failure, which could allow moisture into your space. "High-quality windows can often be repaired, but in other cases, window replacement may be a better option," he notes.

COLD GLASS
When your windows are cold to the touch, your home is not efficiently retaining hot and cold air, notes Roberson. "The temperature of the conditioned air from your ductwork is being drastically affected when exposed to your windows," he explains. "For more efficient heating and cooling and a more comfortable home, you need windows that offer better insulating properties."

NOISE
If what is happening outside your window seems as if is occurring inside your home, you could have a pane issue, notes Flax. "If you start to hear people chatting, cars, traffic noises, and dogs more clearly than before, some portion of your windowpane isn't fully connected and sealed up," he says.
