Pro Talk: Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Drafty or Foggy Windows

With the role your windows are playing in the beauty and comfort of your home, it’s understandable to want to keep them in tiptop shape. After all, without fully functional units, you leave your home susceptible to a number of issues, including high utility bills. That said, you have to be proactive in taking care of them and knowing which issues shouldn’t be brushed off – like drafts and foggy glass.

TEO Construction expertly installs and repairs windows for enhanced home comfort and aesthetics. Professional window services for your peace of mind.

Impacts of Ignoring Drafty or Foggy Windows

Here are some reasons you shouldn’t just ignore drafty or foggy windows.

  • They can lower your indoor air quality (IAQ). Drafty windows can have a huge impact on your home’s IAQ. With them, the air you breathe indoors may not be as clean as you think, even though your HVAC filters are doing their job. It’s because unfiltered air from the outside freely enters your home through the gaps in your units. Foggy windows, on the other hand, allow moisture to leak into your home, promoting mold growth and reducing your IAQ in the process. When your windows do this, it’s always best to consider a window replacement.

  • They can put a strain on your HVAC system. Leaky windows allow indoor air to escape from your spaces, resulting in your HVAC unit working twice as hard to maintain indoor comfort. This leads to an overworked system and higher energy bills. If your windows are aging, consider replacing them with energy-efficient windows.

  • They can cause water damage to your home. Foggy windows may seem harmless, but over time, the moisture that they produce might lead to water damage. Rotting sills and deteriorating floors near your windows are some of the warning signs that moisture is starting to cause severe issues in your home. When this happens, be sure to call in an expert to have them repaired or, better yet, replaced altogether.
