Cloudy or Foggy Windows

Most double-pane windows have gas between each pane that acts as insulation. Over time, the seal around the window will start to deteriorate, and you will see clouds in the windows. At this point, the window needs to be replaced. If you crack the window and start to see clouds between the panes, then that also indicates the need to replace the entire window. In order for the window to be able to be as energy efficient as possible, it needs to be free from clouds.
