Q: Why do I have to repair a double-hung window?

• <div><p>When your double-hung window upper sash keeps falling down, it means you could be letting out warm air in the winter or cool air from the AC in the summer. That means your HVAC system works harder to warm or cool the house, costing you extra on electric bills.</p><p>If the lower sash continues to fall down, it means when you&rsquo;ve popped open the window for fresh air, it could slam shut. In addition to being inconvenient, this could be dangerous if you have small kids, children, or pets that like to hang out by the window.</p></div>

Q: Do replacement windows come with new sills?

• <div><p>Replacement windows normally don&rsquo;t come with new sills, as the sill is part of the window frame that the replacement window fits inside. If you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-consider-buying-new-windows.htm">replacing windows</a>, it&rsquo;s a good idea to replace the sill, as well, especially since the sill will be fully exposed and easily accessible for replacement.</p></div>

Q: Can people see through tinted house windows during the day and at night?

• <div><p>The visibility through tinted house windows depends on the lighting. During the day, when it is brighter outside, privacy film prevents people from seeing into your home. However, this effect reverses at night. If you have lights on inside, it becomes brighter indoors than outdoors, allowing people to see inside. To optimize privacy, you can select from various shades of film, ranging from lighter to darker, which affects how much is visible from the outside.</p></div>

Q: How do you clean well water off windows?

• <div><p>Well water can leave ugly marks on your window. A vinegar-water spray will remove most well water stains from your windows. However, you can also use a baking soda paste if the stain is too stubborn. Consider applying waterproofing protection to the glass surface after cleaning for long-term protection. A protective film or spray layer also makes it easier to remove the water stains next time.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect window installation costs?

• <div><p>The cost of window installation depends on several factors, including the window type, size, and frame material. Labor rates, the need for custom sizing, and any required structural modifications will also influence the final price.</p></div>
