It can also decrease the efficiency of your energy bills, as your AC and furnace have to perform more to keep your home cool. Depending on the season and whether you have single-pane or double-pane windows, you might be able to temporarily repair the damage with silicone sealant. However for a permanent fix, you will require expert assistance.

Condensation can be easily removed. A technician will drill small holes in the window's frame to let the moisture trapped escape. The process is referred to as defogging. It can also aid in removing any stains caused by the trapped moisture.

Defrogging doesn't fix the underlying issue of a damaged window seal. In fact, it may not even if the condensation is gone, since the damaged air that was in between the panes is still there. This could mean that you still not get the same amount of heat insulation from your windows as you would like to.
