Q: What is the disadvantage of a hopper window?

• <div><p>Hopper windows aren&rsquo;t flawless when it comes to keeping rain and debris out of your house because if there&rsquo;s wind pushing the precipitation, it could easily get in through the open space. On top of that, hopper windows aren&rsquo;t potential escape routes the way regular windows are in case of a fire or emergency. If that&rsquo;s a priority or need, it&rsquo;s something to consider when choosing a window type.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell how old windows are?

• <div><p>Most manufacturers have their name imprinted somewhere on the window, such as the spacer bar, hardware, or frame. Other manufacturers will include an identification number printed on the glass itself. If you&rsquo;re unable to find either of these, then your window was manufactured locally (oftentimes called a &ldquo;shop window&rdquo;). </p><p>With a manufacturer name (or even better, the identification number) you can attempt to research the information to find out when the product was made. Keep in mind this won&rsquo;t tell you when the window was installed on your home, but can get you close.</p></div>

Q: What is a good U-factor for windows?

• <div><p>A good U-factor for windows is 0.30 or lower, but they can range from 0.20 to 1.20. A general rule of thumb when it comes to the U-factor is that the lower, the better.</p></div>

Q: How do you stop condensation on windows overnight?

• <div><p>To lower your home&rsquo;s humidity level overnight, you can open your windows when the air is less damp. This tactic allows air to circulate around the window, preventing condensation from forming. However, you should consider the disadvantages of leaving your windows open overnight, including safety risks and pest intrusions. </p></div>

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>
