Home window installation can be a significant investment for a homeowner, and sometimes it is difficult to decide whether a total window replacement is needed. There are several reasons to consider buying new, energy-efficient products for a home's openings, and one of them is failing window seals. Residents who notice fog or condensation between double-pane windows probably have a seal issue. If they live in a mild climate, homeowners may not notice a difference in energy consumption, but it can be difficult to see out of the foggy glass and looks bad from the interior and exterior of the home.

Unfortunately, there can be many causes for a failing seal, including poor installation, structural shifts, inclement weather and high winds, or damage from pressure washers used to clean panes. Most high-quality window seals offer no more than a 20-year warranty, so homeowners should make sure they are comfortable with their installer's ability to seal a new double-pane opening and avoid continued moisture issues.

While storm windows are an option for better insulating single-pane glass, they are cumbersome to install and do not offer the energy efficiency of a double-pane glaze.
