Are the windows in your home in good condition? This combination of glass and moving parts may not always work as you expect. Here are a few things that may tell you it's time to look into window repair services such as window sealing or part replacement.

1. Missing or Broken Parts

At a glance, windows seem simpler than they truly are. Depending on the type of window, there can be a lot of moving parts that work together to let you open and close it. These can include handles, locks, hinges, screens, and rollers for sliding glass doors. If your window is suddenly not opening or closing as it should, one of these parts may need to be replaced or repaired. When it comes to window repair, it's important to use the correct parts. Luckily, a qualified window company will be able to source the correct part for your window and ensure a proper fit.

2. Higher Energy Bills

A high-quality window should keep cool air in and hot, balmy air out. If your windows aren't properly sealed, your energy bill may increase as your air conditioner works harder than ever to cool down your home. According to the University of Massachusetts Amherst Building and Construction Technology Department, an average home may lose 30% of its heat or air-conditioning energy through its windows. If left unaddressed, your windows may even begin to leak and bring moisture into your home. One solution to this issue is window sealing. A window service can make sure your windows are properly sealed. Additionally, you may want to consider upgrading your windows to insulated glass. This type of glass keeps in even more cool air on hot days. A window expert can recommend the best option for your home.

3. Foggy Glass

Insulated glass consists of two panes of glass with a pocket of air in between them. This cleverly simple design is efficient and elegant. However, improper sealing can lead to foggy glass. Because it's between the two panes, there's no way for you to reach it so you can't clean up the moisture yourself. To give yourself the gift of clear, fog-free windows, talk to a professional.
