Dual pane windows provide excellent thermal insulation. This means you can save lots of money on your utility bills, especially here in Arizona. Some double-pane windows deteriorate over time, especially along the seals. Clouding or fogging inside the windows is usually the first sign that something is amiss. If the window seems dirty even after you clean it, the problem could be inside the window itself. If you see drops of moisture inside the window, then you know the seal is broken.
Obviously, a crack in the window is a major sign of a defective window. Double pane windows will not always fog if the seal is broken, but you can bet that the thermal efficiency is compromised. On an especially hot or cold day, compare the temperature between a good window and one that you think might be defective. Place your hand alternately on the inside of the good window, and then the bad. If there is a noticeable difference, you may need to replace the window.
