This reduces the insulation capacity of the window, and increases your energy bills. + +Glass damaged + +One of the most frequent problems that double-pane windows face is broken glass. It is usually due to a failure of the window seal which allows water-laden air to enter between the two glass panes. This can make windows appear damp or foggy, and can also reduce the insulating properties of the window. + +It is possible to repair some of the cracks on a double-paned window. However, it is recommended to contact a professional as soon as they begin to appear. The reason is because cracks can lead to the breakage of the entire window which can result in substantial damage and water leaks. In some cases, a professional may be able to perform an interim repair, which involves placing adhesive in the cracks in order to prevent them from getting worse. + +If a double-pane window is completely shattered it cannot be repaired.

The cost of a window repair depends on the size and type of window. + +Leakage of Argon Gas + +Argon gas is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic gas that is now popular in energy efficient window glass. It is an effective insulator and helps to keep heat out in the summer, while reducing drafts in the winter. It also stops the accumulation of condensation between windows which can cause a cloudy appearance. Argon gas is an alternative to air for double pane windows that are environmentally safe. + +While argon is a great way to reduce energy costs, it's not impervious to destruction. In some cases, seals can fail and allow gas to escape from your windows. A window professional can fix the gas leakage without replacing the entire window unit. + +You can ask a window technician to help you determine whether your windows contain argon, by looking at the label and specifications on the window or by looking for two tiny holes that are designed to let air and argon escape.

The gap between the two panes is filled with a viscous gas which moves slowly, such as the argon. This improves the insulation qualities of the window. The gas fill reduces heat transfer between windows and reduces convective flow within the glass. + +If the argon in your window fails, water could condense between the panes. This creates that annoying cloudy appearance that is a sure indicator of window failure. It is essential to spot the issue early to prevent costly repairs. + +A window professional can use an air pressure gauge to measure the amount of argon lost over time. If you have lost a significant amount of gas, it could be time to replace your IGU. Window professionals can utilize a unique instrument to inject the argon back into the gaps between the window panes. + +Condensation + +Condensation of double pane windows is not just an aesthetic issue, but it is also a problem for energy efficiency. As moisture is introduced into the air pocket that is between the two glass panes the window is less efficient in insulating, causing your cooling and heating system to work harder to keep the temperature at a reasonable level. In the long run, this could be very costly and may result in premature window replacement costs. + +If you spot evidence of condensation on your windows, contact an expert in window repair to look at and fix the issue.

It is possible to replace only the glass unit in the window frame that is already in place called an insulated gas unit (IGU). To do this, you will have to take off the corner screws holding the sash in its place. The next step is to remove the screws that keep the sash in place. After you have removed the sash, it will be simple to pull it out of the frame and yank off the gasket that is in the window. + +After the IGU has been removed A company can examine the condition of the glass and then reseal it. This is typically a quick and affordable process. It is important to note that if the seals are broken or compromised in any way that can't be repaired, it's recommended to consider a complete replacement window. + +While certain companies offer defogging services for double-pane windows, it is only temporary and will not restore the sealed window spaces. Moisture from the inside will continue to enter the air pocket, causing fogging, and over time the minerals in the moisture will etch the window glass.

This could make your home less comfortable and cause the air to feel cold. + +Cracks or gaps in the frame of the window can also cause drafts. These can be caused by wear and tear, or temperature fluctuations.
