Here are a few window problems that Prescott homeowners should watch for:
- Open/Shut - If you have a window that you can’t open, or one that you open and it falls back down, it’s time to get it fixed. Many of these issues are nothing more than adjusting the window and/or it’s operating mechanism in order for it to work properly. And fixing this issue is more than just fixing a nuisance - it could also be a matter of safety.
- Security - Often when a window doesn’t open or shut properly, there may be a problem with the latch. If the latch on your window is not functioning, it’s not a nuisance, it is a matter of safety and should be repaired.
- Drafts - A drafty window often becomes more noticeable in the winter months. The solution may be as simple as replacing worn down window weatherstripping. Again, repairing the drafty window is more than just fixing a nuisance - it will also offer energy cost savings.
- Broken or Foggy - If the glass in your window frame is foggy, it means the insulated seal was broken and the insulated glass unit needs to be replaced. If the glass in your window frame is broken, it too can be replaced. If either of these issues exists with a window, it is not just a nuisance, it also means the window is not able to do the job it was designed for and needs to be fixed.
