Condensation/ice on windows
'Tis the season.
I live in a condo and not a drop of condensation can be found on any window. But at my fiancee's house, every single window is covered in condensation, and some have ice built up on them.
I've heard three opinions about how to go about solving this, but I don't know how much stock to put in to any of them.
Last winter she spoke to a window company and the guy who came to her home said it's the windows, and that the seals are gone. The home ~30 years old and has the original windows. This is like a $40,000 investment, and coming from the window guy, my first instinct is that it's like a TV salesman at Best Buy telling you you need Monster HDMI cables for the best picture.
Her dad says it's all about air flow, and that it's all about how well your house breathes. I don't even know what that means.
And someone she was speaking with says replacing the furnace would also solve this. She doesn't have a humidifier. Nor any plants. I think it may be drier than any desert on earth in there, actually.
Anybody solved this in their home?
