Top 3 Reasons Windows Fail Prematurely

Your windows not only serve as your home’s most visible design elements–they also contribute greatly to its comfort and energy efficiency. But even with regular maintenance, they’ll break down eventually–sometimes much sooner than you would expect. California Energy Consultant Service, the trusted home performance company, discusses some of the common reasons windows fail prematurely. 

1. Weather Damage. The harsh elements chip away at your windows bit by bit, day in and day out. The damage is accelerated–and is more extensive–during a major weather event. Water from heavy downpours can seep into the material and cause moisture damage from within, while wind-blow debris can break them upon impact. Repairs might extend their life, but serious damage will typically prompt a replacement.

2. Sloppy Installation. Premature failure is almost always certain when the windows are not installed properly in the first place. Perhaps the windows are not sized correctly, or maybe the seals around them were not done properly. You should always work with a professional window replacement contractor, like California Energy Consultant Service, for this project. We have the necessary training and experience to install your windows in a timely and efficient manner–with zero potential for mistakes that can lead to premature failure.

3. Excessive Moisture. Do your windows constantly ‘sweat’ or fog up? When your home has high humidity levels, moisture can collect around the window glass and frames. This then seeps into the material, leading to discoloration, mold, warping or rot. 

A failing window can lead to significant energy loss when overlooked. That’s why you should have them replaced promptly. The leading energy assessment expert, California Energy Consultant Service, can help you with this.
