That single foggy window pane you keep wiping down every humid morning might actually be costing you more in AC bills than a full replacement would cost upfront. π
Here in Lafayette, our sticky Gulf Coast climate puts windows through a battle most homeowners never think about. Moisture seeps into seals, wood frames swell and warp, and those "minor" drafts turn your HVAC into an overworked machine. But not every window problem means you need to start from scratch.
When repair actually makes sense:
π§ Small hardware issues like broken locks or cranks
π§ Minor weatherstripping damage on otherwise solid frames
π§ Single cracked panes in newer, structurally sound windows
π§ Cosmetic scratches that don't affect performance
When replacement becomes the smarter investment:
β
Condensation trapped between double panes (seal failure)
β
Visible rot or warping in wood frames
β
Drafts you can feel even when the window is locked tight
β
Windows over 15 years old struggling against Louisiana humidity
β
Rising energy bills despite running your system constantly
