Once the seal between the panes of glass are broken, your windows will create moisture build\u00a0up and will no longer have\u00a0insulating properties<\/span>\u00a0due to seal failure. This means it&#8217;s time to invest in new energy efficient windows.<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"><b><span style=\"color: #002f5d; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;\">Poor Window Operation<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\">The formation of dirt and dust build up over time or even aging windows develop balance issues which leads to windows jamming and sticking causing poor window operation. Windows should open and close\u00a0with ease with functional locking mechanisms. Anything less can mean it&#8217;s time to look into replacement windows.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div><span style=\"color: #002f5d; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;\">Noise<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\">Excess noise from the outside is another tell that it&#8217;s time for a replacement.
