Many homeowners think that if they notice cracks, drafts or fogging on their windows, the entire window has to be replaced.

Window glass restoration involves replacing a failed insulated-glass unit, but keeping the original frame. A new sealed unit replaces the old glass. This improves the thermal performance and also eliminates the moisture that is trapped.
Seal repair directly affects energy efficiency. A failed seal allows the heat to escape during winter and enter during summer, causing HVAC systems to be more efficient. When the seal is repaired indoor temperatures will stabilize, energy loss is reduced and overall comfort improves. As time passes, this can translate to lower energy bills and less strain on heating and cooling systems.
